If I could craft a diamond
from a single tear
and
set it softly in a ring

would
your hand dare...

adorn such pain

offering me love...

offering
me comfort

I set these tears
to sparkle in mine eyes
that you
may...

wipe them away
gently
by thy hand

and wear upon your flesh
my pain
openly and without shame

as promise ring

you will always

Love me.
