My friend asked me if there is “a single solitary metaphor or description of crying that has not been overused?”
I thought, “Challenge accepted!” and then came up completely blank. I even tried to google it, but the internet only gave me the most basic and cliche metaphors in existence. Perhaps I don’t know how to google things. This is not the point.
The point: does any one know of, or can anyone come up with, a new metaphor or description for tears/crying that both does a good and accurate job, but also feels new and interesting? Surely there is a non-rain/river option out there?
