To You

A diamond?! No, just a lump of coal...

The stuff of greatness some day.



I reason the truth in what you say  

But emotions are something

Else and they cloud the way.

Your sweet words make me cry,

And I have to ask why:

If I am so easy to love,

How could you say goodbye?

How could my caring go for naught

To you who rip and tear  

The love that I have wrought?
