Diamond

You treat me like
A diamond
keep me safe
You wouldn’t let
Me wet my paws
You save me from the
Sunlight and the stars
Killing with kindness
Being proud of what you are
I have to know what it feels like
I have to know
One step further and I’m bound to break
You have stolen my life away
If I’m meant to crash down
Then I will
Cannot save me from myself
You treat me like
A diamond let me shine
Wear me once a week
Then lock me up inside
You tell me stories
About the world outside
Here I would be safe now
Slowly fading away
I have to know what it feels like
I have to know
One step further and I’m bound to break
You have stolen my life away
If I’m meant to crash down
Then I will
Cannot save me from myself
I have to know
I have to know what it feels like
(outside)
I have to know
What it’s like
