Student Literary Works: Diamond

Poem and Digital Art by Diajah Moore

Your mixed signals, I can barely tell 

False wishes in the wishing well 

Thought you wouldn’t love me twice, but then you fell

Our bodies attracted what your words would repel 

Now here lately you start to compel 

Thought we were living in a fairytale 

But you broke me and you gave me hell 

Shifted the blame instead of blaming yourself  

Left all your burns and your marks on me 

What you called love was 3rd degree

Lost my own voice because you made me scream 

I echoed your silence 

Now I’m the one violent? 

Your ego’s like diamond 

So hard to crack 

But I’m the one pressured 

You pressed and you pressed her 

 I’m trapped below, but I’m coming back
