Love prt 2
Swinging on a flower petal, I
Wrap my legs around it’s thighs and cry
Welted and darkened stares
Lost in the huge world of Anywhere.
Across the ocean I sat alone
On a petal rested and untold,
Upon a chunk of rock I called my Home.
Yet, it was then I saw
A diamond, untouched and raw
Left to my demise I tried
To craft the diamond into a prize
That I could use to succeed in a world
Where people tend do die alone.
The harsh winter gave me time
To bring this diamond up to size,
Molding the delicate sides
Intricate corners and dimensions to create,
the perfect boyfriend i would date,
Living in this world I find, that not even a diamond would be enough to give me life.
It sat glowing softly that spring day
The sun’s highlight embedded on his face
Yet the sun always sets, “the day comes to an end” as they say.
The day may end, but my emotions still stay.
To this day, my flower has died
My island has sank, my heart has dried.
As the sun may always rise, the moon has stayed
Because the sun never will rise in the same way.
