Diamonds Aren'T Forever

There she undergoes,
A gamut of emotions
All at once-
“Don’t need
Diamonds and rings,
And all those
Expensive things.
Another anniversary,
Again all that hypocrisy.
Lies and pretence
Can see through,
Have that sense.
A craving for love undivided.
Now, either he leaves me
Or I get rid.....
To walk again
In a new sunshine
A new rain
Leaving behind the pain”
Here he pens
Some thoughts
Smiling at the ways
They childishly fought
“I can’t give you
Diamonds and rings
And all those
Expensive things
But every time
I see you
Some verses
Come out new
Resulting in more of
Creative things
Because I believe
Material gifts
Gradually shed 
Their lustre
But.....
It is pure and passionate love
Which forever clings.”
