My heart is a diamond;
it glitters, it shines
and is impenetrable.
I polish it and proudly
display it; it is a wonder
to behold.
But, when no one is
around, when I am
alone…
sanguine tears flow
and fall silently
where only I can see.

this is a beautiful piece that you've written. the emotions that were felt while reading this were strong. its a feeling I've know.. sometimes one feels safer alone to shed tears. I used to do this, not anymore. the pain that was felt through out this write, is quite strong.
excellent take on the prompt
good luck

It's a lovely thought, comfertable to say the least. I'm not so sure that's what sanguine means though, if I'm pronouncing it right in my head.
Nicely done though -

sanguine (sang win)
It means red but also means cheerful and optimistic... words - go figure (LOL). Thank you for the lovely comment and the read...
