Shattered Diamond
I stand here surrounded by shards
they're bright, they're sharp
and they pierce me, but I don't cry.
We are one.
Unbreakable,
that's how it's meant to be
a novelty, a luxury, the most valuable of all.
Yet when two meets, when two clashes
even the toughest bits will shatter and scatter
like ashes.
A precious diamond stands here,
but in a million tiny pieces.
It's still bright, and sharper than ever.
I stand there.
