diamonds
untiitled
I don’t Photoshop my pictures
So I won’t edit my words
My hair is uncontrollable
Like my moods
The crinkled bills in my pockets
Seem to evaporate
Before I can count them
I drive with the windows up
To block the phantom kisses
Even my phone is a reminder
Of what I don’t have
Each buzz suffocating me further
Because I know it’s not you
It’s never you
It was our connection
But you aren’t there, tugging at the other end anymore
I wish my heart was as unbreakable as the diamond you gave me
Blood Diamonds
I can taste the salt in your words
They aren’t sweet anymore
The diamonds have stopped shining
They aren’t enough
To undo the wrongs
The disappointment
They don’t dry the tears
So just take it all back
I won’t miss any of it
I can promise you that
Because I’m done being disappointed
Won’t be your cute little toy
Your alluring inconvenience
For your jewelry is inconvenient too
The gems choke me when I wear them
And your words have lost their charm
Diamonds are strong and unbreakable
But I’m not a rock
And these diamonds have gotten cloudy
And I just see red
The Mystery Of M
