okie...
so i had pneumonia throughout december and i'm just starting to get over it now, and i was thinking as i was coming back from my boyfriends this evening, about how i was so very close to dying, and for the first time it terrified me, i could have lost him, i could have lost everything.
and so the idea of what i'd do if i was told i had seven days left to live and how i'd spend them, and who i'd spend them with.
So options...
1. write as if you have seven days left to live
[example of mine: http://allpoetry.com/poem/4976435 ]
2. if you had a loved one tell you that you that they have only seven days left to live
3. death in general... emotion needed here...no emo-y stuff..sowie but i'm looking for that grief
4. needing someone so much it hurts.
rules:
AP name & option number in authors notes.

spell check

EDIT: sowie i've opened it back up as i've been really ill recently and just would like some time to judge and also give time for more people to enter
