Lost Like Tears in Rain

“I never knew silent tears burned the cheeks more than angry cries.”

Sometimes I don’t realise how much something hits me until after I’ve started crying. Remarks set off thoughts which set off feelings which set off deeper emotions, which in turn set off a physical show of emotion – crying.

Even to that point, the thoughts are hazy and after crying only then does the crying rip an artery or snap a heartstring and hit you. Right there.

I just started silently crying. Tears dripped down my face and onto my clothes. The ones that didn’t drop straight down, rolled down my cheeks. They burned. They hurt. They hurt a little more than everything I felt inside and everything I had felt prior to that moment.

They were painful.
