Amethyst

Dry

lifeless

pruned

without joy

without love

fearing everything

wanting nothing

staying still

my idea of an amethyst 

is not you

you are alive and breathing

eating

singing

dancing

laughing

trying

dying

reborn 

full of healthy

mistakes

and experience

learning

growing

loving

full

ready to bare it all

you’re intoxicating

enough

to make me

want more

there is nothing you need

to dress up

no bling

or red roses

no poses

just be
