I'm feeling rather nostalgic at the moment.
I need someone to truly make me cry
[or at least get me very, very close].
It's not anything easy -
but it's not impossible.
For this, my expectations are going to be [skyscraper] high.
Make it raw, powerful, and utterly disastrous.
[Closing date/points depend.]
Make my ribcage splinter into ruins.

I'm gonna try and pen something that rocks your socks off AS you are crying. So it's like a double-whammy lol
-

Ooh, good. I can't wait! (:
-

I'll write it tomorrow, because I have church in like 3 hrs. and I've had absolutely no sleep. So yeah, it's bedtime for Prelude

-
-
are you looking for something in particular? oh just random sadness?
-
-
Hm... intricate love, I suppose?
I didn't put that in the contest requirements, because only a few people can pull it off.
And you're one of them. (:
P.S. - Do you have a good sweet, sad song that you could suggest? I've had Transatlanticism on repeat for a while.
-
-
oh course i do

try:
hold me down - motion city soundtrack.
you might already have it, but it really is a gorgeous song. -
-
Hmm... do you have something a bit slower?
-
-
hmm okay. i'm firstly going to suggest the obvious,
hallejiuah - jeff buckly.
and if you're not into that too much, but still like the song (god, who doesn't like that song?) try the Imogen Heap version.
and if that doesn't work than tell me(: -
