There were diamonds in my eyes
Pearls in my smile
You took them all away….
To pave the courtyard of your home.

Where fingers tap dance…
There were diamonds in my eyes
Pearls in my smile
You took them all away….
To pave the courtyard of your home.

Beautifully done…the pain is delicately touched..
Thank you Gyan
Absolutely quaint and delicate and at the same time a bit melancholic
Who’d want their precious self to just be decor material? This for me, speaks volumes of how we let ourselves go… unknowingly!
Bingo!
Thank you 
Though this feels subtly sad. In a round about manner, it must have been precious enough to pave the courtyard, which means they will be reminded of you all the time.
No I don’t think the pearls and diamonds taken will be easily forgotten.
Wah wah!!! Loved it, Shail. Such a vivid scene painted from such few words
Shukriya, shukriya!
Four lines to sound a warning…
Warning?? More like a statement of facts
Speaking with emoticons??
Oh, WOW !!!
Thanks Uma
Very poignant! She (I’m assuming it’s a woman saying this) sounds sad but at the same time resigned.
Yes, Manju, it is a woman of course
And you are right, sad and resigned 
lovely. so sad.
Yeah sigh sad it is!
Thanks.
