A diamond trapped in a rock,
Underneath the moon’s gentle knock,
Time ticking, though locked in a clock,
Whispers of eternity, softly talk.
A love once known, now left to rot,
Within memory’s garden, a secluded spot.
Chest cavities empty, cold, and dark,
Love’s echoes fade into the stark.
A love lost,
Adrift like frost on autumn’s host.
Trust washed away,
By the tides of dismay, gone astray.
Loyalty died, gently it withered away,
Beneath the sun’s relentless sway.
Respect is none, birthing fray,
In the quiet night, our peace does sway.
Notebooks full, yet lips nothing to say,
A heart’s secret bay, where silent words lay.
Go away, love, you have done enough,
Vanish like mist, into the morning’s huff.
I’m broken, my soul in search of a crutch,
In the twilight’s embrace, I long for such.
Surrounded by the night’s gentle clutch,
Holding onto hope, ever so much.
