She was rich in spirit, but he had broke intentions And his heart, a runaway lost in the woods- couldn't afford the rent. Piece by piece he tried digging into her mine And most days the sun shined as long as the diamonds did.
But as time passed I saw with my own eyes, how he ran Away from himself Eyes dimmed by the loss of the jewel he couldn't buy. Reminiscent hues bounced off sapphires and still, could not depict his blue.
I despised him for running from the pain left behind- the pain that led him to run Yet I couldn't ignore the presence of empathy When he showed me an image of a heart, emerging from the woods... It was diamonds dancing around a broken heart.
The moon couldn't illuminate the shadows in his eyes As he realised too late that night, too late this life that he- was too broke to love her.
