Broken Diamond

Broken Diamond

The perfect diamond I could give you
 Was the one you could not wear
 It brought the biggest smile
 When you were the only one to share

 All the brilliance and the dazzle
 It shone brighter than the stars
 And we all know that diamonds
 Are the hardest rock of all

 Yet the diamond that I gave you
 Was gentle, strong, yet soft
 It was broken and shattered
 Because I gave you-my heart

 Broken diamond in the dust
 Left to tumble, left to rust
 All the pieces have turned gray
 This broken diamond tumbles astray
