When a Woman Cries

There's no such thing as a woman who looks beautiful when she cries. And that's not because it's gross when her nose starts to run, or she looks less attractive when her eyes are red, and her cheeks are puffy, or because the skin right above her lip gets dried out and peels from the mucus running down her face. And it has nothing to do with the horrible noises that women make when they cry, the gasping for air, sucking the snot back into their nose and throat. It has nothing to do with the way her body contorts to a hunched over ball attempting protect itself from the pain, like pain was a bear attacking. Nor does it have to do with the way her hair gets messed up after a while, or the way after a few minutes her makeup is ruined. No it is none of that that influence whether or not a woman is beautiful while she cries. The thing that takes away from a woman's beauty while she cries is the look in her eyes. It is the lost, scared, almost broken look deep with in a woman's eyes while she cries. The look of pain, of fear, its the look in a woman's eyes that revels she has been stripped of her poise and her grace, that strips her of her natural beauty.
