If Death

Location

What if death,
Was one breath-
Away?

How would you live,
Through your last day?

Scream to the world
"I love you",
So all may know it's true?

Spend all your money,
Or save it for a miniature you?

Close your eyes in shock-
Then live your life again,
Longing for one more word to pen?

Smile with your family,
Hide the time from them?

Do you desperately pull,
Yank at the hourglass
Glued firmly to the table?

Does your mind go blank,
Suddenly unstable?

If death is only,
One breath-
Away?
