The Worst

 The worst type of crying

(if there really is a worst)

isn't the type you think.

It isn't the loud

hiccuping

snotty

floody crying.

The type that leaves 

you breathless.

Where you can't stop

so the tears continue.

No, the worst is the type 

where the tears can't

find their way across 

your lids.

So instead you sit 

in pain waiting for the 

crying to overcome you 

but it doesn't and

you want nothing more 

than to cry because

maybe just maybe 

it will relieve some of the pain

but you can't cry so you stare

at nothing feeling nothing

but also everything

all at one. And you 

wait

and hope

for the tears to come.

But they don't.

You wait endlessly for

the tears to become a physical

manifestation of what is trapped inside

and hope that as they run down

your cheek

they will 

take

your 

pain 

with them.

But they don't.

So instead you sit coldly

with "whatcouldabeens" in

your eyes and hope that

it will get better and all

the while knowing it won't

because now?

Now you're 

not

feeling 

anything.

And you wait for someone to rescue you.

But they don't.

Yup, for sure felt this way. The feeling is easy to relate to. I like the simplicity of this and that whatcouldabeens. P.s. I'm new here. If you get a chance come read some of my stuff and let me know what you think. :)
