She drew her breath and held it
Trapped the scream inside
In that instant her heart melted
Melted yet had not died
The sound she stopped was pushing
smashing against her eyes
For years the pressure building
From the pain she felt inside
She thinks we cannot hear it
She tells herself these lies
But the sound streams oh so clearly
We see it coming from her eyes
In paths of liquid diamonds
once hidden deep denied
Her soul's own secret carbon
Transformed to beauty when she cried
