searching and searching
desperately searching
year after year
finally,
you broke the surface
my diamond
your shiny personality
dazzled me
your gifts
wowed me
the endless love
fulfilled me
my diamond
however,
despite the love i gave
i could not break through
your armor
my diamond
turns out
everything was a lie
your "i love you"s
meant nothing
our kisses
our time shared
the secrets i told
meant nothing
to you
you were not a diamond
instead,
a moissanite
faking your way
through life
lying about your family
your health
your education
yet,
i still want you,
my diamond
