Lost gem

She threw her precious gem in the ocean
And had to watch its descent
Until the gem could no longer be seen

The gem had a special bright so rare to be found
And when she realize its shine was gone
In the blackness of the sea
There was no way to rescue it

She had to settle down
While watch it sinking
Though her ​​heart told her to dive and save it
Her reason forced her to watch it going down

Each grain of salt hurt the surface of the gem
In an irreversible way
She could feel every scratch
As if it was in herself

When the gem was already far away, invisible
She could still feel the pain of the fall
Each time the distance increases
It was as if she was submerging together

She had to settle down
While watch it sinking
Though her ​​heart told her to dive and save it
Her reason forced her to watch it going down

After she threw it in the ocean once
There was no way to find it again
The gem was now lost in the depths of her past

She had to settle down
While watch it sinking
Though her ​​heart told her to dive and save it
Her reason forced her to watch it going down
