Jewel

I put my tears on a string
one by one.
Soon I'll have a necklace that costs heart and soul.
Jewels so exquisite that only one man can bare them.
Inside each tear his name is written in a code...
- Nobody knows, everybody asks...
But the tears only belong to the heart and soul of that one man.
Yet he has been too blind to notice...
So I'll build even more tears on the string,
till they shine bright enough for him to see.
And if he is willing to pay for this necklace... He'll get a bonus,
two for one price! The biggest jewel of all.... 
One that could make him the richest man ever...

- ME!
