They glow in the abyss of my darkness.
Silently flow down the slope of my cheek.
Each expensive drop a revelation of my anguish.
The chords of my heart bleeds to their content.
The diamonds in my eyes flood my pain.
If they should fall before,
The cause of my despair in horror.
Their cold embrace manipulates
The image of my mind in bits.
Now I'm positioned before a stone wall.
Barrier to the one I cannot ignore.
Who will comprehend my thoughts?
Who will hear my silent cry?
The comfort I wistfully desire
Denied me in stride.
All have abandoned my side
Except the diamonds in my eyes.
They taunt, "reach out to me"
"Leave me your burdens"
But the heart knows no grief,
Memory knows no loss,
Excluding the diamonds in my eyes.

Very moving..loved the usage of metaphors in your poem🥰
I feel like writing has always been the number 1 way of expressing emotions that you don't know how to. For me, talking about my feelings has always been hard, and I feel like that's why we turn to writing. That's why we turn to music and books. It's all because they can help us identify and process our emotions.
