Boy: What would you do if I were to die in a week?
Girl: I’d be with you every second.

Boy: What would you do, if I were to leave?
Girl: I’d follow you.

Boy: What if, I said I love you and want to be with you to the end?
Girl: I would say I love you too, and I will be with you to the end.
*Girl holds his hand tighter*

The boy dies a week later from cancer. Spending the last few moments in his arms, when she realized he wasn't breathing, she committed suicide. 'Forever' was written on the bullet that met her heart.

Good but really short, it could be a base for a poem or maybe if you elaborated on the piece and added more narrative, it would help alot.


:idea:
The boy dies a week later and the girl committed suicide in his arms when she noticed he wasn’t breathing.


This seems a bit too dramatic. Also
the girl committed suicide in his arms
This needs extension, try being more empathetic with how she feels. or maybe mention her movement in the narration.
Having the ability to inspire and revoke feeling in someone through the power of speach and thought. That is truly an art and that is why good Authors and writers are so unique and hard to find.

Oh my God thats beautiful! Not that its good that she killed herself but still, so sweet :)

Awesome job, but its really short. I'd add maybe a little more dialouge and everything. Like, give insight as to how the boy died, and why she was in his arms when he did.

Keep up the good work! :wink:

This was really beautiful and poetic.
But it would make more waves as a narrative poem
Gift are to those who appreciate it, use yours wisely



If you have to ask, "Is this cliche?", it probably is.
