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

I have no idea how that happened.
Beautifully done…the pain is delicately touched..
Thank you Gyan π
Absolutely quaint and delicate and at the same time a bit melancholic π
Who’d want their precious self to just be decor material? This for me, speaks volumes of how we let ourselves go… unknowingly!
Bingo! π Thank you π
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. π
No I don’t think the pearls and diamonds taken will be easily forgotten. π
Wah wah!!! Loved it, Shail. Such a vivid scene painted from such few words π
Shukriya, shukriya! π
Four lines to sound a warning…
Warning?? More like a statement of facts π

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 π And you are right, sad and resigned π

Yeah sigh sad it is! π¦
Thanks.
