"there are tears in the heart that never reach the eyes."

Good one! I am not one to bottle my feelings up unless doing so prevents my sadness from hurting others. Usually my concern is for children who pick up on the slightest vibe. But in general I allow myself to unload and don't carry hurt inside.I used to do so, but I think it can accumulate and cause unexpected problems and hurt. Let it out, I say!

Not really tears in the heart, but it's true that there are heartache that does not need the shedding of tears from your eyes. Do you have a burden that is keeping you awake and keeps your tears down your cheeks?

The statement is correct, sometimes I feel so heavy in my heart when something unpleasant happen and I just couldnt do anything about it, and yet people around me might have no slight idea of what is going on inside me.

Sometimes, your heart is so heavy but you cannot cry, even if you forced it. I've been in this situation several times, and it's most uncomfortable, you want to release your heartaches but there's just now way you can do it. Sometimes too, you need to put on a strong face for whatever reason, that even when your heart is so heavy it's ready to burst, you have to put on a smile and pretend that nothing is going on, until you are able to hide in the darkness of being alone, and hope that then, you can cry.

That's a really sweet line. Maybe it means that you were hurt so deeply that you are now so numb you can't even shed a tear. But you can feel the pain in your heart which translates thoughts into your head... angsty thoughts.

beautiful sentence aahhaa!!

Sadness or any other negative emotions, if it will adversely affects other people are often hidden in the deepest part of our heart. We'd rather keep it than hurt other people, especially if we love that person dearly. In my case, I am a very transparent person that people dear to me knows what i feel inside. Sometimes even if you deny it, they know that you are hurting. Some people who don't really know me would just ignore my emotions but who knows the real me would see beyond what my eyes and mouth expresses.
