how to make me cry

Ways you could get these eyes of mine to leak in emotion (cry)

Put me in front of a Nicholas Sparks marathon
Play the song 'amazed' by lonestar
Remind me that I'm no longer queen
Bear your testimony on eternal families on fast Sunday
Tell me that I'm fake
Make my dad cry
Sincerely tell me why I'm a bad friend
Explain to me that my compliment kept you alive
Put me on stage
Send me to brother Preice's class on a Tuesday after a long week
Tell me I'm gorgeous, but first walk around in a hat and glasses and act like you own the place
Leave.
Get me reminiscing about my most fulfilling moments
Make it impossible for me to help you
Hug me for 78 seconds when I've put my guard up
Tell me that I can't fulfill my dreams
Take me to a funeral at my church building
Make me sing 'I believe in Christ' in a choir with my sister
Convey to me, in everything you do, that you love me
Say it.

"Make my dad cry"

Probably one of the worst feelings ever. Right up there with dead puppies, and holocaust books.

Awesome post.

My dad crying equals me bawling. That's a no go. So vivid thank you.

inspiration in their moments

let's turn the music up a little louder and drive a little slower and forget about college and tests and waking up in the morning because God gave us this one night

So when you look at your tattoos and remember a few years beforeWhen you want to relive the childhood adventuresI'll be waiting on the top of our middle school with a pair of warm clothes and a magic eraser to clean you up

~Alice S. Blackwell

small talk will be a legend and we'll speak in piano concertos and poetry slams and painting

pound the chords to your melody it isn't hers anymore.

Just trust in my robust distrust for the common gust of willful Wind that can end someone's devotions and thought provoking emotions like how most of you look for love potions.

ABSTRACT IDENTITY

I honestly don't know what I'm saying

But my hands

and my heart

do.

don't let anyone tell you this wasn't worth it, they weren't there the night your soul came alive

~sam durrant

I can't stop myself from liking you even when I list out your flaws twice.

~Sam Christine

It's tangible, it's not some feeling, it rocks your brain and crushes your bones

it wanders back to you
