Like the diamond

You are like the diamond,
You glimmer and glow,
And shines so brightly,
Some, like me, draw close,
To feel your warmth, your heat,
Only to find none.

You are like the diamond,
You are bright and strong,
But you have no warmth, or love,
It’s a terrible game,
To play with people’s hearts,
Like mine.

You are like the diamond,
You will last longer than most,
But you will have no love,
No warmth to back up that bright light,
So what kind of life will that be?
Besides long?

Will you regret it someday?
Regret being so much like the diamond,
Regret being so cold,
And look for me,
And find me gone?
Can I ever leave?

No, I can never leave you,
I am drawn to this bright light,
This false sense of warmth you give,
I keep wishing and hoping.
That someday, you will give warmth,
But, this will never be.

Diamonds last forever.
