You lay beneath treetops and starlight
I cradle your spilt blood in my fingers,
And it slips through and fades into the sweet earth
I take your hand in mine
Your breath comes in short bursts
Like bubbles, coming and breaking
It slips between your lips
Fading in colour
Your eyes brighten as your flesh fades
Your life slips away beneath my steady gaze
But we are calm, together
I kiss you while your lips still hold their color
And feel you turn to stone beneath me

You seriously cost yourself a trophy by not following directions. I was absolutely captivated by this piece and I thought it was deep, passionate and well written. Next time make sure to pay attention to the rules.
RULE:
Put what option you chose in your author's notes.
