Diamond soul I stand alone from burning embers burning coal to the darkness where no man goes I sear life, desire, dreams, all you live, you love, and then you fall tortured slowly without reprieve you have no life, no sight, no need pull out the life that lacks within and strap your hopes on a burning wheel course set straight to hell and back again I have no life, no sight, no need I am diamond and do not bleed I feel no pain that is my own if my life, my love, my hope is gone no other shall enter for I am strong like fire burning brighter day begun hatred, mockery, rage, and pain will be the only friends to mine own name
Reason for writing:
Betrayal by a loved one is the most despiring thing that can happen. I had trusted, and began to love. This was my only fault, and trust broke me. Out of the fire of my anger a diamond was born. Beautiful, hardness, impenetrable I became. I will never be hurt again.
