Poem detailed explanation:

I wanted to talk a bit about me, because I've been writing about the girls I've loved, the friends I have and my family, but it's harder, yet certainly as interesting to talk about yourself.
I really like to talk about the heart, I think it's a really expressive organ. But I had to compare it to something, and because I wanted to talk about me, and explain all the sides that I can have, I wanted something with the same attributes, that's when I thought about the diamond.
To start the poem on good grounds, that's why I said first that my heart looked like a diamond and has many facets, because I'm then going to build upon this all over the poem, and just like a house, the whole poem could crumble if the base ground is not good enough.
Once you've described what you're going to talk about, let's take each part on its own. In the first one, I can see myself, meaning it's where everything that concerns me is happening, nothing about interaction with the outside world here.
In the second one, I see a lover, obviously that part is the loving part, all my love for someone is concentrated there. But because nothing is ever permanent in love, at least for me, I added this little mention, that it's a love that is already lost, or is becoming lost, that adds a big tragic sense to it.
And on the third one I see friends, those ones occupy a special place in my heart and absolutely deserve it.

I didn't want to go further like that enumerating everything that I had in there because it would have been boring as hell. Instead I just took the 3 most important things, and said that everything else is also part of it.

Then I also wanted to explain and share with the reader the good and evil, light and dark part of it, which I figuratively compared to the moon, because it's something that everyone can understand and relate to.
So it's true here that all parts that have been described before don't get to be good or evil at the same time, that would be a mess, each one has its turns.
Sometimes a part of it can be darker than others, but that's just temporary, just as some part of it can be brighter. The most important thing I wanted to share/explain here is that to build upon my comparison with the moon, it's not a cycle of night and day, or light and dark, but instead there are several light sources and each separate part can be lit or not.

Another comparison now, I wanted to show that the light representing everything that is good, make us grow just like a flower, that's why I said that it was like the earth, because not only the flowers grow with sun, but everything.
Another critical thing I wanted the reader to know is that even without sun for a lot of time any part of my heart can recover its formal splendor if the sun comes back to it. Just like in the wild, if the right conditions are met, even the part that seemed dead on the exterior can come back to life.

When the heart is pumping it's increasing and decreasing, and I wanted to take that and show that all the light/dark, joy/pain can also narrow or increase, implode of pain or explode of joy.
