Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Tears Like Diamonds

The diamond glitters
Like tears on my cheek.
The promise made
Was not to keep.
The band that meant
Forever yours
Means nothing now
With closing of doors.
Nothing left
But a broken heart.
No longer one,
Now torn apart.
The diamond glitters
On my hand.
Tears now fall
On a wedding band.

James Tate February 2, 2011 at 1:44 PM Francine, you have captured the essence of the Dear John syndrome in this sad poem. Good writing. Thanks for your kind comments on my tax poem. I had fun with it. I'm trying to post a poem about Dandelions, but it failed twice and I don't know why. Any ideas?
