Hello! I am Brittany Malachi and, instead of introducing myself, I will let my poetry do the talking....
A Diamond In The Rough
From the moment I saw you
You had my mind
You introduced me to a dance
Of a new kind
I never knew
I would feel your touch
Get lost in your soul,
Tender kisses and such
I never thought
I could feel such pain
That would alter the chemistry
Of my analytical brain
From a phoenix’s rising
To a withering rose
A moment in your presence
Kept me off my toes
Insecurities present
Interactions
No longer pleasant
But love rooted its unexpected head
And sooner than later
I was left for dead
I wanted to hate you
But knew I couldn’t
Everyone wanted me to
But I knew I wouldn’t
They called you a dog
But I saw your beauty
I defended you
As if it was my duty
But you didn’t care
I saw your pain
And because I caused it
I started to go insane
I didn’t know what I had lost
I didn’t know until I paid the cost
That you were all I ever wanted
That you were all I ever needed
Succeeded
Failure was not an option
But failure was my adoption
When I realized the error of my ways
The ending of my days
Knowing the one who had my heart
Would be the one to rip it apart
But God knew better
He let me know in His love letter
That even though
You didn’t feel the same
It was okay
For the love to remain
So, for your sake
I hope you take
These words as closure
And for your sake
I hope you make
A different exposure
Releasing all the hate
And embracing the peace
Ending all the pain
And letting it cease
But if you’re not ready
I totally understand
If it helps to never see me
Then, I honor your command
Though it hurts,
I’ll move on
And if it makes you better
Then, I’ll be gone
Just know
I would have given you the world
Just to be
Your one and only girl
The woman in your life
That wouldn’t give you strife
But one hundredfold
Of things untold
For what it’s worth
I would have given you heaven on earth
Who knows what could have been
Had we not fallen into sin
Not the intimate moments
God knows
I don’t regret those
But the moment we turned on each other
Becoming enemies
Making beautiful moments
Tainted memories
But, now,
As God revives and prunes
He has me dancing to
A new set of tunes
One day,
You’ll find yourself thinking of me
One day,
You will finally see
That when Christ pursued you
He came like a man pursuing His bride
He wanted to give you a diamond
But had to test your pride
He gave you one
In platinum setting
And you did things
You were later regretting
But the Savior decided
To give you another chance
To give you another shot
At love’s romance
He decided to test you
Another diamond he revealed
To restore your faith
And allow your spirit to be healed
He found one in the rough
Put it under pressure
Had to see if you could love it
Beyond measure
But you rejected it
You were ashamed
You didn’t even want it
Associated with your name
So He sent it off
To get refined
Trusting the Jeweler
With all assigned
As He continued to pursue you
You sought out other stones
Committed to the Savior
Knowing He would never leave you alone
You found you one
Though not what He desired
He gave it to you
Because you were inspired
You wore it faithfully
Showing it off to all to see
You were so happy
You forgot all about me
You forgot all about
That diamond in the rough
But the Savior kept me
Though it was tough
Oh, but it won’t be long
Before you see me again
In reverence of my beauty
And all I have within
You will be in awe
Of my finished state
You will find yourself
Wishing to be my mate
You will see how I shine
In God’s light
You will wish you were mine
In the wee hours of the night
For I know too well
These things I tell
For you are a diamond
My diamond
A diamond in the rough
