YOU ARE A JEWEL

You are a jewel
in the junkyard of the opposite sex
who litter the Earth
baring their teeth
in a steely primitive display
to convince us
that they are friendly
and would make a good parent, –
but all they really want
Is a few years under the bed sheets
and the emotional warmth
of another human next to them.
–which is enough to trap them
and make them fall in love,
for eternity,
but you are a cut above that,
sculpted to make us fall in love first
and then yearn for you
forever.

Originally said "women" instead of "opposite sex".
Maybe should remove the words "fall in" and just have "love first".
It looks like that is what I intended in my original writing.
Probably should remove the comma after eternity, not sure if I should capitalize "but"
