I lay in my cold hospital bed, my arms stinging from the fresh IVs nurse Toby placed under my skin. I lay in my cold hospital bed and wonder... I wonder if I was given even one more month, how many poems and stories I would write. How many people I would make laugh and cry. How many times I would say "I love you." How many times I would pray. How many times I would close my eyes and re-accept my inevitable fate. I lay in my cold hospital bed.

If to be
I lay in my cold hospital bed, my arms stinging from the fresh IVs nurse Toby placed under my skin. I lay in my cold hospital bed and wonder... I wonder if I was given even one more month, how many poems and stories I would write. How many people I would make laugh and cry. How many times I would say "I love you." How many times I would pray. How many times I would close my eyes and re-accept my inevitable fate. I lay in my cold hospital bed.
