Heart of gold
In the caverns of my soul hides my heart of gold.
Encased in what appears to be coal, created by tears from years ago.
A faint heartbeat is still heard underneath but it cannot take any more defeat.
How do you harvest a fragile diamond from stone and how do you move a mountain all alone.
Use your tears to erode the stone and carve a hole through the mountain.
You will never again feel alone once you realize you are stronger than stone.
Excellent choice of metaphor
Excellent choice of metaphor to describe how heartbreak causes us to bury the treasure of our authentic self rather than risk being hurt again. A smooth and graceful expression we can connect with.
