[WP] Write a story that would make any man cry. Like really cry.

"She was a story that only poets could tell. I won't forget the first time I met her. She had the bluest eyes. When we started, she wouldn't say much, but I didn't mind. I could make her laugh, that's all I needed. The world would have loved the way it sounds. I swear, no musician could make a song that sweet. As time went by, I only grew proud of who she was. This darling person who entered my life. She conquered the world with every step. She could tell stories about the most mundane things I would hang on every word. What I wouldn't give just to be bored to her voice once more. You only realize you miss that once its gone. I remember once we went to the Zoo together. You wouldn't believe how surprised she could get over Meerkats. Meerkats! I mean, they're cute, don't get me wrong, but you'd think she'd seen the face of God when she saw those small fluffy bastards. Couldn't get her to stop talking about em for days. Of course, we fought, but even when I was angry I loved her. I knew she loved me too. But... but if I could take back every angry word, mean insult, bitter-tasting vitriol that poured out of my god damn mouth I would. I just...

The rain poured down harder on top of my head. It drenched my coat and chilled my bones. I could feel my heart hurt with every breath. I watched on as the Coffin holding my daughter was lowered into the ground, with no one around to mourn her but myself.

"I just wish I knew those poets were singing Greek fucking tragedies. Maybe this wouldn't hurt so much then."
