Diamond tears that graze her perfect face
What has the world done to you
The sparkle the shine once in her mind
Slide down trembling lips to polluted grounds

Golden blood spills from her wrist
As her teeth clench to contain her screams
A silent world is too loud to hear her pleads
Words to actions yet nothing sets her free

Silver knifes puncture her heart
They can never touch her soul
Leaving the world behind
My ultimate treasure flies
I watch with Diamond tears
Burning in my eyes

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

At first when I read this I was like okay another sad poem. Then when I go to the second stanza I was like okay this is good. My favorite line I watch with diamond tears. Such a good use of imagery. Suggestion: use more imagery cause your good at that.

This is such an amazing poem. Even though me, as a reader, didn't know what was happening at times, it's very beautiful. I like the comparing her blood to gold and her tears to diamonds, I never would've thought of that. I almost cried at the end. I think you accomplished what you were going for. Good job and keep writing :)))))
