This is a love poem to my bf. ^^ It was also my last poetry assignment for my Creative Writing class. We had to use cliches but not make them as obvious by wording then in a unique way. I was also told not to make the rhyming I used as obvious and not to use it as frequently as I used to.
I'd rather live
my last day,
Rather than live
a day without you.
I'd rather take
a bullet or two,
Rather than see
you suffer the lightest of pains.
I'd rather feel
endless hate,
Rather than feel
emotions for another but you.
What I'd rather do
is take a sad excuse for a clear sky
and make it the vivid blue that hides in your eyes.
I'd rather fall
off the face of the earth,
Rather than stand
on an earth without your existence.
I'd rather paint
with my own tears,
Rather than see
yours stain the page.
I'd rather lock away
all of your distress
and make it my own.
I'd rather you be a soul
planted in a lively body,
Even if that means I'm a soul
with no body to inhabit.
You need a heart to live?
Take mine... you will always have it.
