My Diamond
By this life I've been cut to pieces, they're all there on the floor
Thousands of jigsaw shaped pieces, I'm not easy to explore
Only one person could look and see what was really me
Now that he's past, what will I become to be
For I'm constantly walking in circles, getting lost in the dark
Instead of a loving hand, all there is, is a question mark
I feel myself slipping backwards, further down the hole
Slide past the diamonds formed by pressured coal
You promised to be my diamond the hardest of all rocks
But even diamonds crack, with the ticking of the clock
I'm so very lost now, even more than before
Because you'll never again walk through my door
Only you could look at the jigsaw, seeing the beautiful picture it was supposed to be
Only you ever had the love to see, all that made me......me
