The Long Night

Jai747

 

Better a flawed diamond, than a perfect pebble.

Deny your own heart; you’re a rebel.

I cry for your happiness, you’ve laid it on a pile of bones.

This is why so many people lose diamonds in search of stones.

 

But diamonds are brilliant & bright, 

And pressure only makes them shine with light. 

 

One carat gone, a thousand more to find. 

From the rough, new stars shall be mined.

I hope you are not left with only coal,

Because I’m about to discover the light of my soul.
