I never understood your beauty,

you were a glistening diamond,

fresh from the embers of the darkest coal.

 

I’ve always loved diamonds…

 

My pain was snatched in a mere second,

blinded by the twinkle of your crevices.

How could I resist?

Now all we have is resistance.

 

Trust me, you said.

I know not how to hurt you, you said.

Your mind is true, yet your heart is lost,

wandering, searching for something once forgotten.

 

Your promise was kept

I was left unscathed.

 

Now I lay, empty, in a bed of embers and coal,

Im happy you found your own diamond.

I now realize I no longer enjoy sparkly things,

 

I used to love diamonds…
