As we all know, John humiliated Diotrephes. When John showed up in Asia Minor he publicly called out Diotrephes. This was quite the scandal seeing as how Diotrephes was a respected Christian counselor, and John was an uneducated common man (who was, for some crazy reason, recruited by Jesus of Nazareth and ordained and appointed as an apostle). John told everyone, “Diotrephes is a narcissist, and he talks wicked nonsense.”

But what if Diotrephes sincerely sang the song A Mirror Is Harder to Hold? Which goes like this…

You could stay a while longer
We could stay up and talk about
Last summer
We could go down to the water
Watch the sunset going under

It’s not that I’m a stranger
To lonely moments
I’ve had my share of those

Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

I could try and point the finger
But the glass points in my direction
Sure, you got your sharp edges
But my wounds are from my own
Reflection

You’ve got nothing I could ever hold
Against you
I got fatal flaws to call my own

Please don’t go, Please don’t leave me
Alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

I met a man who’s looking for
Perfection
Said he never met a girl who’s
Good enough
His eyes are getting old
Like they’d love to love again
Such a lonely man
Such a lonely man

I see him in my reflection
Taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
And pray we don’t throw this
Away

It’s not that
I’m a man
Who couldn’t love you
I know what these arms are for

Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
A mirror is harder to hold
Please don’t leave me cold
A mirror is harder to hold
