  1. A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or “All the world's a stage” (Shakespeare).

Could we say that the sentence: "my eyes were raining sorrows" is a metaphor? I think so.

Thanks.
