To Have Me Or Have Not

"To Have me or Have Not”. I had a thought just crossed my mind/ a problem that never been resolved A bitter taste a bitter cold I don’t feel anymore remorse a path I had taken a road that was driven/ the toll that wasn’t pay for / Unsettled thoughts remains Cries of unsettled tears/ I left but not forgotten/ To Have me or Have Not” Pick or choose? Which Direction would you take Route 101 or I-95 standing on top of this bridge called the Golden/ Thinking of you while you take your new companion to your new destination/ to look back I guess you have me in your rearview and your new friend as your copilot. Why are we separated from each other? I was the best competitor the Great Teammate. "To Have me or Have Not”. My pain my misery my shame the awful regrets the missteps and the mishaps/ "To Have me or Have Not”. The Fog has thickens the cold temperature makes me feel like I reached Antarctica I can’t see the body of water underneath. The suicidal thoughts inside of me the broken bottle of Hennessy shatter on the ground/ tourists snapping images of me as I extend my head first and my last breath of air was taken. "To have something is only temporary everything and everyone has expiration" "To Have me or Have Not”. Written By JCMT 08/29/2014
