a New Poem



“I’d Rather Die”

Skipping rocks across the pond, waiting for you to respond
Why do you keep me waiting, sitting here just anticipating
Wondering what your thinking, I think I’ll just start drinking
Drown my worries in a tall glass, tell my feelings to kiss my ass

That’s what I want to do, but I just cant
Get up outta here but I got to much restraint
You see what I want to do, is say goodbye
But compared to losing you, I’d rather die

Pacing a hole in the earth, ive been impatient since birth
Why do I need you with me, when you don’t want to kiss me
Wondering what your thinking, while i sit here drinking
Fill my glass to the brim, wondering why you left me for him

That’s what I want to do, but I just cant
Get up outta here but I might just faint
You see what I want to do, is say goodbye
But compared to losing you, I’d rather die

I could kidnap ya and just run away
I want your love, but not that way
I could hold a boombox over my head
But that’s a message that’s already been said
I could write the words you need to hear
But instead ill just finish my beer

You see what I want to do, is say goodbye
But if that means losing you, I’d rather die

Waiting, debating, anticipating, to relating
Infatuating, deliberating, exasperating, and castrating

A broken pencil snapped in half, and all I can do is laugh
Cause my inebriation hit me, but I still need you with me
and i can barely hold up my head, i'd rather be dead

than to spend another minute without you in it.

That’s what I want to do, but I just cant
Get up outta here and finish my drink
You see what I want to do, is say goodbye
But if that means losing you, I’d rather die


this poem isnt about anyone, or anything really... i was more or less putting myself into the shoes of an old freind of mine and a few movies ive seen in my life. Im not losing anyone (to my knowledge) and im about as happy as i have ever been in my entire life. So dont get the wrong idea, i just really liked the chorus i came up with and had to run with it.
