Make Me Cry

I'm a newbie, so I don't have many points to offer, but still, please give it a go.

I want you to make me cry. Thats all. The only rule, is that it can be no longer than 3000 words.

It can be about lost love, lost live, lost anything. Just make me cry. And I want to be engaged. Don't write something boring.

It can be prewritten or not, I don't care. As for poetry, I accept it, as long as it is beautiful and full of emotion.

Hint: I also love things that are psychological. Absolutely love it. Things to do with the nature of humans etc.

      It doesn't have to be finished, although I would prefer it to be. If it is already that long and you are still not finished, I don't think you should enter this competition.

    This was very hard to judge, as the stories were all very good, but some of them were also very similar... Anyway thank you for entering.
