Diamonds

What creates a troubled soul?
An unachieved goal
He had his heart stole
By a girl he gave his all

Had a ball, at the start
But like graphite flaked part by part
The soft fabrics of his heart
Got easily torn apart

From a state of bliss
travelled to a dark abyss
Route One is this
A Judas Kiss

She didn't want to be idle
So threw him in a spiral
A raffle with rivals
It's a vicious cycle
Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

"Because All men are trash"
That's what you conclude
But you have no clue
About the diamond next to you

The story behind every jerk
Is a world of hurt
A person who didn't see his worth
A woman who put him in the dirt

Below the Earth
He became a mess
Over his pain he would obsess
Deeper down, meteoric depress

Held under duress, extreme in measure
725 000 pounds of pressure
Per square inch of his chest
Would daily compress

2200 degrees Fahrenheit
Baked his emotions dry
He became dead inside
As his heart crystalized

He became untameable
He became unbreakable
Almost inflameable
His new resolve unshakable

He has recovered
So Rises up to be discovered
And many try to uncover
They come one after the other

But It's a means to an end
Romantic attachment he won't extend
He can't even pretend
After all a Diamond is a girl's bestfriend

Doesn't want any of them as his lover
They are all synthetic, have tainted color
See Only a diamond can alter another
He wants a troubled soul for a lover

He is a Diamond in the rough
A diamond that is uncut
With a shine caked with dust
Simply not polished enough

Another diamond
Knows what it's like to be hurt
Buried deep below the earth
So will Brush off all the dirt
And see his real worth

Together
they will shape each other anew
Putting past pain in rear view
Polish all their surfaces true
See each other's true value

Never on their own
A pair of precious stones
That withstood the heat,
That withstood the pressure
That formed an unshakable bond,
As they discovered treasure
Beyond measure
