Broken
the emerald of our love seemed so pure
you were the Cullinan of my heart
yet, even graphite has no cure
for curing was no start
our love splintering
on your part
crumbling
broken!
it’s gone
it was sold
you were the one
so fragile, yet so cold
my diamond turned to graphite
there was no place in your mould
I found a black diamond… reflected no light
-the Cullinan Diamond was the world's biggest diamond discovered at the time 3100 carats-
