girls are ugly when they cry

The only girls that look pretty when they cry are ones that aren't really crying, not something worth crying about anyway.

It's one tear, one emotion-filled sigh that starts it off. And then you can't stop. You thought you were okay, that you had it all under control, but really it's just your mind screwing you over. You release great, heaving sobs from the bottom of your chest and you can't breathe. You're hyperventilating. Your lungs can't compete with the emotions you're releasing. It hurts. Everything hurts.

You don't even know why you're crying now. You look ugly as hell. You know you do. Your face is scrunched up, you can't even sit up straight, your eyes are red and puffy and your sniffles are nothing short of disgusting.

You've finally stopped crying. You're still sad, but you're physically exhausted. Really it's your mind that's making everything feel like shit, but for some reason when it comes to love, we automatically affiliate that with the heart.

And it's surprising, that the core of us that pumps our blood and keeps us physically alive can feel so much pain.

Your voice hurts, because even though you've uttered no words at all, emitted only the tiniest of a sob, your conscience knows that you've been screaming to yourself. You know the pain will fade, because you're only hearing a dull roar inside you. But something's gone. You feel empty. Like you've lost it, and you can't get it back when it's standing there right in front of you.

No girl can truly cry without looking ugly. No girl can cry without sounding annoying. It's painful to listen to, isn't it? It's this great catharsis of negativity, of negative emotions, that truly shows us our humanity.

And after you cry, then what? You lull yourself to sleep. You close your eyes and keep the ugliness inside you. And hopefully some day, your Prince Charming will wake you up. Girls are ugly when they cry, but never when they sleep.
