you say i'm worth less than i truly am
and yet
you were the one to make me
rust
if i was gold
then you were simply
bronze
that wanted to be more but
was worth less
than i was
the bronze is third
and the gold is first
but you're not bronze
you aren't even copper
you're simply rust
eating away at what is
beautiful
and that was yourself
and now me

This one just was written because I wanted to write about metals odd enough.
