Diamond


You were my diamond

Glistening in the sand

Shining from afar

Twinking like a star


Your gaze was hard and cold

Something I could never hold

Even if I cry a river or two

You were already gone before I could even touch you


Regret gnawed into my deepest core

I know what I did was uncalled for

Lost my most prized gem over a dummy spit

I've been burning over the fire of guilt


While the heat weakened me,  it refined you

I'll watch you shine in different lights and hues

Admire the sparks on the corners of your almond eyes

As you brave the world and I face my own demise.
