Diamond

It shines and lusters

 

Through any case, she tries to hide it

 

Its jagged edges sprawl, like the rays of the sun

 

Hypnotized by its beauty, she grabs hold of it

 

Edges piercing her fragile skin

 

But oh how the diamond glows

 

She barely notices the crimson

 

Gracefully floating through the pores on her delicate fingers

 

Connective tissue starts to mend the pain, lacerations become scars

 

She ignores the old wounds as she cannot leave the diamond be

 

She’ll hide it with her forever until she can no longer feel
