It's incredible how fast tears can dry. One moment they are streaming down my face, choking me, blurring my vision. The next, they are dried on my cheeks, salty lines on cracked skin, leaving my eyelashes stiff and crusted. My red eyes itch from the sudden dryness. My nose is stuffed and empty at the same time. It's incredible how fast tears can dry when you've completely run out of them.

Out of Tears
It's incredible how fast tears can dry. One moment they are streaming down my face, choking me, blurring my vision. The next, they are dried on my cheeks, salty lines on cracked skin, leaving my eyelashes stiff and crusted. My red eyes itch from the sudden dryness. My nose is stuffed and empty at the same time. It's incredible how fast tears can dry when you've completely run out of them.
Needed to get this down, need to touch up, might take down.
