Tears Like Diamonds -Poetry

Tears Like Diamonds

Tears like diamonds

Hard but beautiful

They fall down to the ground

Will they ever be refound

Tears like raindrops

They water the soil

And fade away as sprouts blossom

One often forgets

That it's they who made the flowers grow

The seas are wide

Wide and salty

And as my tears dry away

A salty crust remains on my skin

Could a world's tears fill an ocean?

Bitter sweet we say

But truly bitter comes first

And it is as our wounded senses numb

That the sweetness can come

We say that tears dry and fade

They do not leave scars on your cheeks

But just look into my heart

You shall see that they forever mark the soul

Tears like a pile of rocks

Come and confirm crushed hopes

But once you decide to overcome

You take these rocks and build a new home
