Diamond
Like a diamond in the rough,
 You’re exterior is tough.
 Your edges are as sharp as knives,
 Scratching all those in your life.
 A twinkle evident in your eyes,
 Identifying all that lies.
 Gleaming bright for all to see,
 That’s what drew you to me.
 One in a million, that’s what you are,
 Shining brighter than a star.
 Danger, present, where ever you turn,
 Get too close, and someone might get burned.
 Recklessness, you do emanate,
 To all those near, you do frustrate,
 In a moment of clarity,
 When it was just you and me,
 I see you for who you truly are,
 A glorified a******, set high above the bar.
