oh dear Ruby its this world and then you and then me courage has a face courage is you when you knew you wouldn't stay not so much with him more so with that version of you she was kind full of love she was you, she was you but no longer Ruby no longer perhaps amethyst perhaps hues different colours in different light but what matters is the sun shines on you you as someone new you as Ruby no longer you who now understands what it means to be cruel to have conquered humiliation and pain and to stand up to life with all your might and to be stubborn and assert that you will love and be kind despite to shed your skin to be grateful for the warmth it gave to know it is no longer what you need you as bell tower, lighthouse muse you as strength personified you as my pillar you, living your truth.
