Blood Diamonds

There's more about you 

Than what meets the eye, he remarked

Yes, I still carry feelings 

And I do cry, she replied

Even if I have sensitized my being

To the inexplicable sufferings

I question 

Why

It can't be my karma

For I cant think of hurting a fly

Sequestering self

I have bloomed

In excruciating shades

The obnoxious gropings 

Snatched my innocence

In phases, the excruciating agony continued

Betrayal in love

Indifference to my existence

I have endured it all

If ever I read pages from my life

You will realize

Every verse is written

With my blood diamonds
