The Monster Cries

Diamonds glistening until your blinded Infects the willing and unwilling Those who hide, smile. those who don’t, cry It’s still there even for those who give freely Concealed inside this fantasy So deeply hidden, this knowledge forbidden The diamond in your hand The monster cries Breathing a dark reality, Dreams shattered, pieces scattered, Its journey jagged, the diamond scratched The monster walks among us lost, and hurt It looks for comfort and fails Several times This kingdom Overwhelmed with hate, vengeance and crimes It retreats back into it cave to seek solace from its familiarity But it also betrays the monster and the monster howls searching for security The diamond in its hand A little drop of blood lands softly on to the tip of the diamond The drop widens like ripples in a pond Tips and overflows the stone Dripping into the cracks The diamond in its hand Seeking affiliation, singing alone It’s never safe and it knows The diamond bleeds and the monster cries The Monster Cries
