Picking And Choosing Valentine

Something's in cherries
(Though it's true of everyone)
That's not in anything else
Bite-size edible rubies
Another divided world
With its bitter stone the teeth
And tongue separate
Savoring the meat
What disease was it made
To cure or since some
Are bittersweet at least
Ameliorate the sweetness
I lack in my bones 
Something straight to the heart
To make it juicy and fresh
