To sparkle, the prerequisites are...

Burial
Darkness
Patience
Hardening
Painful shaping


and the diamonds are made this way....
sadgirl Sep 2017
you
dig for
me in the night
but doors are never
locked, and you creep inside
you want a gem to call your own
but diamonds are always in the
rough, even when you
always wear
them with
pride

[intro/verse 1]
Follow the ruts
To learn the art
Of shattering one's
Diamond heart

[pre-chorus]
the errs in flair
will flare the prayer
take one more step
if you really dare

[chorus]
the church and it's chairs
will be burning in flames
the frame of the graves
will fade in the darker shades
as the human race
start hating their faith

[verse 2]
Hear the howls
From the demons
Hear the owls
Late at night
Singing lullabies

Unsaid secrets
Unseen crimes
Will fear them all
Walls‘ve eyes
For your lies

Wolves will cry
With both eyes
Closed at night
Showing the signs
Of ending lives

[bridge]
We will all
Typify
The disaster of
Human kind
As the day and light
Will all die

[chorus]
the church and it's chairs
will be burning in flames
the frame of the graves
will fade in the darker shades
as the human race
start hating their faith

I want to be a bright star
In my own realm to hark
Way above the others
That shines in the dark

Bright like the morning sun
More than a diamonds spark
A one of its kind born
I want to leave a genuine mark

Tho, my hands can't reach,
The sky where the stars reside
Maybe oneday I might just greet
When my soul will finally abide...

You say I am a diamond
In the middle of the ocean
Least you know, about me
So take caution and precaution
For I am an iceberg
Steady in my flow
Harmless, but dangerous
Yet, I mean to glow
I shine
I welcome
I drown
I wreck

I am plumpy downwards
And just a little above the waves
So many hollows
And yes, I have a cave
Within me, I am no one
Not a spirit or a living soul
No one invited me, to come
As I somehow drifted from the pole
Alone adrift
Alone forever

When the sun shines
Tears of joy roll down
Making my head smaller
And I begin to drown
Slowly
Painfully

I am melting
I am melting

Down



Exiting this realm into the next,
Rising the ocean
A level higher...

Sometimes I feel like an iceberg to, atleast some traits of it :)

i won.
at least, that's what it
felt like.

it was a burst of
pure adrenaline rushing to and fro
in the depths of my body.

i will never find anyone
as lovely as him.

no matter how hard
i mine,
or borrowed,
or stole,
there will be no
diamonds
worth as much as the ones
in his eyes
at that moment
that seemed to take him
to his paradise.

In the limitless, desolate desert,
facing inclement weather for long,
day and night I was searching for
"the diamond that will bring
deliverance once and for all"

That was what I was told
by the clairvoyant of the desert,
in his words mysterious,but I knew
what was the true meaning concealed.

I heard the anklets clanking behind,
but was busy churning the sand dunes
like wind,by the time I was awakened
by the music unmistakable,
I got only a glimpse of you coming

to meet me eagerly,but a fool I was,
an ostrich burying it's head deep in sand.
I've been going around the sea of sand,in vein
searching for that oasis, where you for me wait.

You are not a diamond
for you are not hard
and you are not sharp
and you are not bright.


You are not gold
for you are not dense
and you are not soft
and you are not shiny.


You are not silver
for you are not light
and you are not white
and you are not heavy.


You are not sapphire
for you are not blue
and you are not calm
and you are not deep.


You are not ruby
for you are not red
and you are not attractive
and you are not visible.


You are not iron
for you are not strong
and you are not flexible
and you are not smooth.


You are just a stone
full of imperfections
and broken
and withered.


You are just a rock
unfaceted
and unprecious
and incongruent.


But you are a meteorite
something I want to explore
and the only proof I have
that someway, somehow


I am not alone
drifting in the nothingness.
