Diamond

I wish I'd known the weight of a diamond 
The distraction of the way it winks at me so flirtatiously as I go about my day 

I wish I'd known the cost of a different life 
A love 

14 grams of gold and I've been walking sideways 
And Im too young to be so tired 
Too smart to give away my time 
Too selfish to have a love of my life 
And too dumb to understand 
The weight of a diamond
