temperatures of tears

have you ever realized

when you cry

silent tears

ones that don't carry emotion

they are cold

cold like the people who caused them

cold like water

in a glass

on a hot summer day

but

when we get carried

down the river

of thoughts and emotions

'why did they do this to me?'

'what did i do?'

'why do they hate me the way they do?'

'i'm not good enough in their eyes'

'i'm stupid'

'i'm ugly'

'no one would ever love me'

why do the tears get so hot?

maybe because there is a fire

in our hearts

burning

burning

anger

of course

most people

would not feel these tears

with differnt temperatures

maybe i am just too emotional

or we are an emotional lot
