Tears

falling down cheeks
they turn cold
glistening in the moonlight
they're wiped away,
quickly
quietly
so maybe no one will notice

everyone hides tears
yet we all have to let them out
sooner or later
a sob wells up in your chest
moisture brims over your eyes
and you run
run away
because you're afraid
afraid of what they might think

why?
because you're afraid of showing
emotions
feelings
tears
