TONS OF OPTIONS!!! Please enter and give it a try, I want a lot more entries!

My first contest turned out pretty well, but this time I am hoping to have more entries. So I am going to give you all a lot of options to choose from. && PRE-WRITES ARE ALLOWED

************Also, I will be adding more HMs and points as I go along, and with the contest ending soon, I hope I get more entries. So far 13 people will be getting trophies, so you all have a very good chance with points going up when I get more entries

Okay, I will start off with the rules;

-NO bashing other poems
-Keep swearing to a minimum
-No profanity
-No erotica, but sensual is fine
-No emo/cutting poems, dark is fine
-Please put the option number you choose in your author's notes, & and don't forget!
-No sTicKy cApS, but I will allow UPPERCASE words if need be

OKAY, so I am now allowing more than one entry per person, but a maximum of 3 only. Please do not enter any more than 3 poems. I prefer you enter only once to give others a chance, but I know I have many options so if you like more than one, you can enter for 3. Thanks

That's about it for the rules, so have fun and GO!!

    i'm going to smack my boyfriend if someone gets this wrong again.
    "I'll be" is by Edwin McCain, not one of the best bands in the history of ever, the Goo Goo Dolls.
    That being said, can I enter a piece inspired by the 'Dolls?

    Sure you can enter a poem inspired by the Goo Goo Dolls And as for the song I'll Be, I clearly wasn't thinking when I wrote that. I know that Edwin McCain sings it, yet I put Goo Goo Dolls, my mistake. Thanks for letting me know

    "This drug called love"

    I chose Option 7. It's sort of a metaphore through the whole thing though about how I lost a someone I thought I was really in love with and my realization of how much I couldn't stand the though of even looking at him.
