Wear me as a diamond ring
Share me as a failed pairing.

Born of ash,
I am a star filled memory
Around your finger,
you know I'm forever me

The geometry of 'we'
Still troubles me
Is it me and you
Or just you?

Am I just turns for the worse
Thoughts for you to stuff in your purse

I've got to face it,
I see your face in every facet
In your eyes I'm a mirror maze,
I hold you hypnotized and amazed

You're
smoke and mirrors
While I go from
Smoke to mirrors

I'm just a bit of carbon.
Did you know you can have your ashes compressed into a diamond? This is about that, sort of.

i grew up being told things that made me feel like a diamond in a pile of gravel, but now i'm laying shattered on my bathroom floor and i didn't think diamonds were supposed to break.

His thoughts, his talks
Have combusted every corner
Of my cracking heart ,
Into ashes and dust,
Which fly no more,
Into cravings and lust,
Which I never adore.

I am trapped in this thought cloud
Flying beyond the horizons of fantasy,
Reaching non-existent places,
Impossible in my destiny.

I float around on this surface,
Swimming like a cinder-block
On this black tar of love,
Burnt from within,
And ready to burn further,
To win it all,
And to get that shine of a diamond,
It's tough.

A  deep rumbling,reverberates
triggering a yearning for fusion
from the limitless inner sky.
A flash of lightening touches
heaven , earth and roots of being,
starting a chemical change,
in a moment of divine communion.
From the mere carbon, just the mundane
a diamond is born, in the womb of time,
don't let it fall off from the layers of passion.
hold it together in cupped hands
carry on all through the journey, til end.
I didn't know then,
a pearl falls out, when it gets
ripe within the oyster
can't remain hidden.
Your eyes told me without words
about the essence of that immortal moment
I touched your burning brows
and got electrified, glowed
with my touch you floated
as a flower in that scented air
I felt a peacock feather dipped
in your love, caressing my burning heart.

"Never Darling there's not another girl"
Words you said through lying teeth

"It was one time, I don't know what I was thinking"
I looked into your devilish blue eyes
While my trust for you falters

"I don't love you anymore"
Words you bothered not to say in person
Because you knew I would see the lies
Because you never loved me in the first place

You knew I knew
There was another girl all along
I hope you come to your senses
You picked up a rock
And dropped a diamond

I cried, bent, and got burned but I stood up and spoke my mind.

I never deserved to be treated like trash
Because I **** you not when I say I am a diamond.

I am a diamond that you threw away.
Guess what?
I'll ******' shine my luster so that you'll go blind.

I'll ******' shine.
You glisten,
so listen to what I have to tell you.
In a crowd of many people so bland, trying to fit in, you,
you're different.
The crowd that mumbles sweet nothings of importance
that I pay no attention to, someone that glimmers and
shimmers in such a fraud world, but you,
you're unique
someone that no one would pay attention to
because of their blind world sculpted by others and
not themselves,
they've missed their opportunity on the most beautiful
discovery because they're too busy trying to fit in.
With a world darkened in such a cruel way, wont you light up
my life forever for I,
I could watch you forever, listen to your problems whenever
because you are my treasure so, just do whatever.
I just want you to stay my unique and shiny
diamond forever.

You're a diamond
Hidden in rock.
It takes a careful hand
And a lot of time.
But slowly, we coax you out
And realize
Just how beautiful
You are.
A diamond in the rough.

;don't look at me that way
With so much passion and care
don't look at me that way
With so much love and hope

:It pains me to look at you this way
I can't have you that's why
Why I look at you this way
You're good and I'm not

:your parents warned you about me
About me breaking your heart
But I can't have that
I can't break a diamond to pieces

:go on, sweetie.
Find your prince
And don't stick with this peasant
Go find your happiness
And not in a pit of darkness
Legend:

;girl
:boy
