My Brother's Tears

My brother's tears fall,
Diamonds on his skin,
Carrying emotions
Revealed from deep within.
My brother's tears shine,
Reflective in the dark.
I see my brother's tears,
And they break my heart.
My brother's tears glisten,
And they dance down his face,
They choke my throat;
They fill up space.
My brother's tears show
What lies underneath.
They're the only sign
That inside, he bleeds.
My brother's tears know
The secrets of his heart.
My brother's tears fall,
Like diamonds in the dark.
