diamonds

the best gift i ever received from a man

was a book of poetry

i can buy my own diamonds

just show me the parts of you your heart wrenches over

tell me of the mountains you cannot conquer

gift me with the things you do not understand,

and the waters you are petrified to ponder

i promise i will run with it all

i will make love to everything that makes you feel this way

i will share your demons until we are in agreement

that they are banished from your heart forever

and when the day comes

i will be there when you are ready to swim the oceans you once were unraveling over

i promise i will be diving in next to you, my lavaliere lover
