I wrote this poem some years back. Rate and comment. Thanks

ELEGY OF A BROKEN HEART.

I found a BROWN STONE
It was so rough and coarse
Beneath the roughness lie a beauty
My eyes were keen enough to see
I picked,
I washed,
I cleaned,
I moulded,
I cuddled.
So many stone pickers laughed
While white stones jeered.
I was steadfast,
I was patient,
I did not relent and,
I wasn't disappointed
For it turned out to be
A Beautiful white stone
I kept,
I treasured and,
I loved
I protected from other stone pickers
For its beauty and purity
Was the sweat of my brow
A Beautiful white Diamond!
Now,
My Beautiful white stone
Has gone to other stone pickers
Worse still,
Sing their praises
She left me with nothing
But a Broken Heart!
