Love

[ayoub]

Stronger than a diamond
Yet fragile as glass

Love gives you wings
And can take them away

So that you

fall

From a great height
It can catch you again
When least expected

Some would say love is bondage
However sweet
But that's not so
Love's chains are the ones that set you free

The ones that will keep you safe

Wherever you go

And not hold an expectation of your return
For you are most beautiful
When you fly free

Gain strength from love
But care for it and nurture it

Don't let it slip away
For those are cuts that will not heal

Give love to all

But hold the diamond of true love
In your heart
For the one who will see it
As beyond the most beautiful thing
And will be truly blessed

When presented

With a beating red diamond

Sheathed in your own flesh

fall had to be spaced out, for it to read as I wanted to speak it...
