The sharp knife of a short life, well // I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

......Oh my god. I got tricked into thinking it was from Quinn's POV and only realized until the very end. And you used the song I happened to mention was my favorite so far out of the ones you linked me to... Break my heart, why don't you. :(

Guh, how is your writing so sad but awesome? It's amazing.

That wasn't originally the intention, but then I started writing it and.....I just sort of had to. I'm sorry! And I was usually the song as my guide the entire time, and when you told me it was your favorite I allllmost told you. It's that line "Ain't even gray but she buries her baby." line that destroys me.

I still say you might be a little delusional, but thank you so so so much, bb. <3<3<3<3

That's such a weird coincidence though that I liked the song that was inspiring you to write... How freaky. But I love endings with a twist, even if the ending upsets me, I'm still impressed.

You're welcome. And hey, I'm not delusional :P Just accept that you're awesome, bb. ♥♥♥♥

Kismet. Fate. Destiny. Or freaky, whatever. XD You have no idea how hard it was not to write something that would give it away before the end. Make sure I never called Frannie her daughter or anything. I don't have the attention span for that!

Fine, fine. For you I will accept it. ;D ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥

Like I said last night. There aren't enough virtual hearts in the world.

Oh.

Oh god.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Blame that song!

I am! Oh god, that's... so fucking sad. The song made it worse! It's like how I listened to nothing but "I Feel Pretty / Unpretty" while reading that story I linked you to... music alongside emotional writing just kills me.

I saw the date, too, and Rachel's heart shattered a little bit at that ;__; <3

I've written a total of four prompts for Quinn, and not a single one of them has been really happy. I swear I can only write sad/angsty stuff.
