About the Poem

I wrote this poem about a man that I feel very strongly about. He is very attractive, but, of course, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

You Are Like The Diamond

by LoveBug

You are like the diamond
You glimmer and glow
And shine so brightly
Some, like me, draw close
To feel your warmth, your heat
Only to find none

You are like the diamond
You are bright and strong
But you have no warmth, or love
It's a terrible game
To play with people's hearts
Like mine

You are like the diamond
You will last longer than most
But you will have no love
No warmth to back up that bright light
So what kind of life will it be?
Besides long?

Will you regret it someday?
Regret being so much like the diamond
Regret being so cold
And look for me
A find me gone?
Can I ever leave?

No, I can never leave you
I am drawn to this cold light
This false sense of warmth you give
I keep wishing and hoping
That someday, you will give warmth
But, this will never be

Love

Hey love bug! I absolutly loved your poem! It really touched me because it reminded me of this guy (sam) I like. It's exactly how sam and I are. He is like a diamond and I keep falling for him over and over again! Thank you for putting my feelings into words.

Dany

thiz poem was cute i'm srry lady_bug but i had put it on my page yes i put ur name on it cuz i woodn't put it on ma page wit out ur name cuz ppl kno i can't think like dat lol srry but it was cute and it had got to ma head so keep writin ur poetry u r da best girl keep ya head up

I just went through something with a guy I've liked for so long. It is love. But he's only interested in being secret friends with me. Not even open friends. In front of others he acts so heartless that I want to die. There's warmth deep within him, but the harsh exterior kills it.

Julia

This poem was sad but true. once you fall in love you put up with alot and hope things change for the best, but if they dont want to, they are like a diamond , stay the same and last 4ever.

Theo

riki

Nancy

Loved your poem. I don't know whether this poem was written about a narcissist, but, it sure does contain all the right words to describe living life with this type individual. I've lived with a male narcissist for the past 45 years. All I can say to all ladies, is this; if your young yet and happened upon this poem and read it and your current boyfriend comes to mind immediately, run for your life while your still young. Thanks LoveBug, you've captured narcisstic personality disorder and turned it into poetry, beautifully and perfectly.

Ashley

This poem is great, its exactly how i feel rite now, i love a guy and he doesnt even care about wat i do for him and how i stick up for him i just wish he could think of me and my situation, from now on he is always gonna be my diamond, if he doesnt care, y should i?

Kourtne'

man, dat was good it touched me rite there,lol. but i'm also real surprised dat people feel this way too. noew you kno ur not alone keep doin wut chu doin gurl,u have great talent

Laura

I liked your poem, i was just in a relationship and its was just like you said. Your words are so true!

genesis

your poem is really good and it made me think about how this guy pulls me in and then pushes me away but i keep going back to get hurt thanks for opening up my eyes.

kelsey

i know what you mean

Tiffany

I like this poem, and dimonds do last forever but a broken heart fades away.

eddie

wonderful job

Kimberly

That poem was very sweet and poems about love is from the heart. I completly under stand what you are trying to say

courtney

wow this was really powerful. great job. i have a best friend that is in your situation too. they still beleive that they will acually love them someday but they won't. its sad to see one of your best freinds' heart thrown around like that. its really sad to see someone do that to somebody you love. but hopefully you will give up on this person and move on because if you are anything like my friend, you deserve so much better thatn that and you don't deserve to have your heart thrown around, you deserve someone that will acually love you and won't lead you on. great poem and i really hope you find someone better because you deserve a lot better. good luck! courteny~**~~~~*//////

Angela

Thanks alot for making this poem but it reminded me of a guy named Jonathan that hurt me a lot

holly

This really hits home. The man thats been in my life for the past 6 yrs. exclusivly and 11 years off and on reminds me of him in this poem. Ilove him very much he is my soul mate, but he cant return all the warmth and love. He is capable and i know that he loves me the way i do him. He just have very deep issues that he needs to overcome. untill then ? he is my diamond !

Sophie-Jayne

i've been writing poetry since i was about 12, i'm now 20, and you have caught my eye, you have managed to sum up this insence feeling i had for a boy who was my first love. but that i was nothing to him. your poem is incredible. you should be proud of your work

Zoe

I love this poem 'cos it's exactly how I'm feeling right now about an ex who played around with my heart and didn't even have the decency to let me know he was leaving. I didn't realise there were so many people feeling the same way I do right now. Knowing has made me stronger so thanks to all of you who have commented on this poem as well. Hope your hearts feel abit better soon!

Rebecca

Nikki

this poem reminds me of my ex boyfriend. i was never able to truly tell how he felt about me. he seemed to be the perfect boyfriend but it was all a facade. it was just looks because once i took a look inside if him and got to know him he was a shallow person and he will always be that way because "diamonds last forever"

Jerome

Caitlin

THat was a great poem. About as good as the ones you used to write when you were little. It really touched me and I give you your props.

Megan

I like this poem very much because I just so happen to be in the same situation with this one boy. He seems to be the right one for me but yet he isn't what he seems to be at all.....In summary, wonderful poem....

Mac

that's touching, I know this feeling, so it was especially sad for me to leave. The last line really completes it.
