I am alone in a sea of emeralds
Every single one a memory
They fall from the sky
And blow with the wind

They surround me,
Comfort me
I feel them soak into my skin,
turning me a shining gem green

And I protect them
As I find myself falling
Into the mortal world,
My fantasy slowly fading into
Nothing

I walk to the book store,
Always a gem.

I got this out of a speech my mother gave me about the world and how when you love someone, you dont turn your back on them because you dont want them to turn their back on you.
