Pricey Diamonds

Betrayal is the sword she callously thrust
deep through his heart killing the trust.
Faithful was the love he gave her for a year,
her only gifts were nights filled with tears.

She sips on wine to help pass the dark nights,
it helps to bring sleep and hurry dawn’s light.
Loved by her family and comforted by friends,
looks for a way out of this hell she lives in.

During most days she can make herself smile
and even fool family and friends for awhile,
but mention his name and the smile goes away
and sunshine gives in to dark cloudy days.

Grief is her companion, it’s as if he were dead
but thinking of him each day, he stays in her head.
She searches for the way to turn love to hate
and prays she will find it before it’s too late.

She will get through the battle even though scars will show
and pride in herself once more she will know.
When he tires of her games and begs him to stay,
she will see it costs her a diamond to play.
