DIAMOND TEARS

I cry diamond tears,
not my eyes are shut so tightly,
but because it hurts so much inside
that I try to squeeze it
into as small a hurt as possible,
and the coal turns to diamond,
but it hurts just as much.

Inspired by a line about falling diamonds in a poem.
(Though that line was actually about stars if I remember correctly).
