Diamonds

I followed a trail of diamonds
All the way back to your room
And I found you on the bed
With your head in your hand
Mumbling about broken promises
You were in a sea of diamonds
I thought you didn’t see me
So I turned to walk away
And leave you to your thoughts
When you reached out for my hand
And asked me not to leave
So I sat down beside you
Watching all those diamonds fall
And when you finally lost them all
I gathered all those diamonds
And I held them in my palm
You asked what I was doing
And I said I didn’t know
Then I handed you your diamonds
And said, “Don’t be ashamed
When these diamonds have to fall
Because they hold a special beauty
In the sorrow that they hold
And each diamond you let go of
Leaves behind an ounce of strength
And soon you’re gonna see that
So just don’t be ashamed.”
