Love Poem: Dirt

Dirt

I was once a diamond
 Standing out from everyone,
 Your only amazement
  From all other women.

I was once a pearl
  Shining through the waves
  Deep within the curls
  You dive just to get me.
  
As days go by,
   I became a pebble
   From the apple of your eyes
   I am now abandoned and forgotten.

Now I am just a dirt
  Who can't get near your sight 
  You rubbed me off 
  Without any good bye.

I still love you though.
