Description
Sad, perhaps, to see a grown man cry
Each tear the sheds from his eyes
A rare mineral being extracted from a mine
Is the value of a tear determined by the weight of its causes?
The tear that cries for lost love, more valuable
than the tear that sheds in agony, stress
Are tears like gold? Always costly, but differed
by impurities, by how well it is crafted
Or more like a diamond, carbon so dense
it becomes transparent, a price in beauty that is
unwavering
as you look through a diamond at a fire
The undulating heap of demon breath melts
Into a pool of viscous hate
As you look through tears at city lights
and see each pinnacle grow a pair of wings
become your typical twinkling stars
Such a liquid that is revealed to air
When human beings encounter stress not meant
for the mind to take
but to cry is then human
in our world
lack of such stress
is simply
doubtful
