aching with sorrow and sadness
silently keeping in it
when, eventually the dam breaks
as chance moments
beckon forth deeply held emotions
tears spill quickly
because the lies
behind false smiles
of “i’m all right”
can’t help but break through the barrier
foolishly yet protectively erected
this water shed pinnacle of epic proportions
a facially distorting cataclysm
and puffy, snot producing event
this full-body aching outloud
it was inevitable
so predictable
it was necessary, to move on to healing
I Write Her 
A good cry can wash away the negative and allow the positive to surface… This poem is a spot on description of that!

I love how you’ve described the cathartic crying. A poetic event. It’s true that crying can purge the emotions of sadness and lingering guilt.

I don’t get them very often but yeah, when they happen, best thing is after the purge. 🙂 Thanks, Sadje!
