I whisper

Laying here next to you

I realize the uncomfortable truth.

Surely I will die

if you were to leave me now.

This reliance on you frightens me,

what am I going to do?

As you sleep I take a breath

and make a desperate plea.

Through the darkness I whisper,

"please, don't leave me."

a creative write that comliments the given picture perfectly, i havent read any of the other writes in this contest but they must have been very good to beat this one for although this is simplicity it is this that makes it more dramatic

This is cute, and the imagine is stunning as simple as it is. but make sure in using such photos, that you are giving credit to the artist that took it, unless it is you yourself
