I would rather .......
I would rather sing a song of love rather than write a complaint of rejectionI would rather rejoice in the truth than live a lie
I would rather walk with dignity in tact rather than crawl in shame
I would rather stand beside you and hold your hand in the darkness
rather than fight you in the light of anger.
I would rather walk alone rather in the company of fools
I would rather teach you to stand strong rather than comfort your weakness
I would rather give you what you need rather than give you what you want
I would rather cut off my hand than raise it against you in a fit of rage
I would rather reach out to lift you up than to kick you down
I would rather kiss and love you passionately than rape you of your self worth
I would rather write poems of beauty of you than a writ of divorce of you
I would rather to be it you my love the last face I see before I die rather than
the face of darkness.
I would rather call you my beloved rather than my enemy
I would rather wake up beside you rather than alone
I would rather wipe away your tears rather than cause them
I would rather leap into the fires of Hell to save you than watch you suffer in agony
I would rather lay in the grass looking into the heavens to see you there
than stand by your grave in despair.
