Tears Have No Manners

 Tears are the most ballsy of drop in guests.

They never bother to tell you when they’ll pop by and couldn’t care less about whether you’re ready to see them or not, or feel their hot presence. They don’t even try to go with the ruse that all they needed was a cup of sugar at the last minute for a cake they were baking. Tears just barge in without knocking and always seem to sense when you’re home, even when the lights are off.

 

Never mind they expect you to welcome them in with open arms no matter what you’re doing at that moment, and of course you always comply, because, well, simply put, you really have no choice. They’re impossible to keep out and will not take no for an answer. You wonder why suddenly they are there, and then your reality sets in and you cannot get them to leave. They also have an amazing sixth sense and somehow are aware that you really do not mind them very much, though at times it does feel like they are taking advantage of your hospitality. They plop themselves down, stay for hours at times, and you’re essentially trapped in your house. Entertaining them also can be exhausting, and you can feel quite drained when they leave.

 

The thing is, there are so many of them! They seem to reproduce at a kind of galactic rate, constantly replenishing their numbers through some strange method of spontaneous reproduction. No matter how fast or thickly they fall into the gravitational pull and eventually evaporate, there are always zillions right behind, just waiting their turn to slide down your cheek.

Moving away will not solve the problem. They are the kind of neighbors who will figure out where you’ve decamped and have the nerve to knock on your door day or night, or basically whenever they feel like it. You probably never will get rid of the tears, so it’s best to try to view them as friends and accept the situation. They may have no shame, but they really are quite attached to you.
