Belly Full of Tears

A sick feeling in the pit of the belly. That's where the tears go when they don't come out.

She sits alone in the dark refusing to give in...refusing to let those treacherous tears roll down her cheek. To do so would be to admit defeat.
It would be so simple, to just give in but pride was more important and besides, pride was the only thing she had left.
So she swallows it, all of it, the tears, the sorrow, the disappointment. She swallows it all into the pit of her belly where it sits and makes her sick.
