This isn't a 'To Ruby' poem, but I still wanted to share it :)
Key:
Normal Text: Qrow
Italics: Summer
Bold: both

...
She's a Beacon of Light
He's the End of the Day
I try to leave her
I make him stay
•••
You know what I am
I know who you are
I'm the bringer of bad luck
To me you're a charm
...
You say that now—
I'll say it again!
Summer, this is serious!
Really Qrow? Since when?
•••
You've told me this before
And I think it's far from true
If it was, wouldn't I be sad
Instead of happy when I'm with you?
...
That's not a logical reason—
Stop it, Qrow! Why does it need to be?
Is there any logic in love?
Do you know something I can't see?
•••
That's not what I meant
You know what I want to say
With my luck, you'll get hurt
And for that I have to draw away!
...
Well your luck is working
Since I'm already hurt
I won't let fear control me
And I will not be brushed off like dirt
•••
Explain all you want
But I'm here to stay
Don't let your semblance control you
Don't be like Raven and run away
...
In no way am I Raven
For there is nothing that she rues
All I know is I can't stop fate
And I'll break if harm comes to you
•••
Why can't you find someone else?
Maybe go out with Taiyang
You used to have a crush on him
When we had the full gang
...
Don't pull that card on me
You know what our career means
Eventually we will all die
Tai and Raven, you and me
•••
It's funny you mention that
For if you leave on a whim
It'll be worse than me passing
I'll be broken like him
...
This may seem callous
But you'll move on; you know it's true
Enough of this, Qrow please stay
Just let me love you!
•••
We are a Huntsman and a Huntress
And we know what that means
We will fight for our cause
Until we fall to our knees
...
So let's just live in the moment
That's all that I ask
Let's be happy together
Until we eventually pass
•••
I know that I'll regret this
But…okay Summer, you win
I'll be here, right beside you
All the way to the end
...
That's all that I ask Qrow
For that is all that matters
And maybe, if we're lucky…
Together we'll wilt and scatter
...
...

Edit: Thanks to the guest review who pointed out the mix up with italics. I don't know how it got mixed up when I copy-pasted it, but it's fixed now!
This poem is a little something that I whipped up for a challenge in RWBY Amino. Here's to the QrowxSummer shippers!
Happy writing to all! Lonessa out!
