City Of Glass Poem by Luke Butler

O'er the hills where I stay, there was a city of glass,
Time and time again, I kept on walking passed,
Till one day, a friend did say, what a beautiful place,
I gazed at her, and thought, what a beautiful face,
So I took her to the city, where I was warned to not go,
For I was told that the city was for those who deserved it so,
she went in and I did follow, the beauty captured our hearts,
As we went further, she gazed at me, and said we must part,
I was furious and melancholy, and yet I kept my cool,
Watching her walk away, I thought 'I am such a fool',
I gave one last look, and saw her beauty multiply,
as I watched she turned to glass, to always refract the sky,
Then I saw through her, and knew her guise,
For me to figure this out, that was my true prize,
Until I found she was better, then I had come to surmise,
Words echoed in my head 'Son, do be wise',
I turned to walk away, knowing I was to be alone,
out of sadness, or of anger, I picked up and threw a stone,
And just like that, the city fell, tears filled my eyes,
Just like that, I broke such a beautiful world, I was the demise,
As glass fell around me, in ohh what a sight,
I forgot about the girl, I loved so last night.
