Diamond Heart


I have a diamond heart in my chest. On its best days, it radiates rainbow light; touches everyone within its limits; shines all over the world- especially your world.

On its worst days, its cold like a million icicles converging; hard and obstinate; and beats for no one- not even for you.

Having a diamond heart is difficult. It cannot break even when it wants to. It feels heavy in me and rattles against its cage- wanting to break free. But oh! what precious jewel; what pristine artistry; what a sparkling farce I suffer alone.

When you love me you feel my dazzling worth,
and when I love you I do it with a heart of stone.
