Treasure Box

Really wish I were what you are looking for.

I thought I was the jewel you were digging for.

You dug so hard and damn near broke your back.

I have something these other jewels lack.

I thought it was me, the blood-red ruby that caught your eye.

Can’t you see me burning bright red like the sun fleeing the sky?

I’m not surprised you chose the diamond; they are in fact a popular find.

But that diamond isn’t bold like me. See, when the sun rays hit me I appear as a red flame.

You only want the diamond because of its name.

I still love being a ruby though, just wish someone could see me glow.
