Derek Threadgill Poems

Some people think that love is what they got
But I can tell you no it's not
Give me an evening give me a night
I won't be deciving we won't have a fight
...

If I had a wish guarenteed to come true,
A wish I knew that I couldn't spend on you,
What would I wish for that would bring me such joy,
It's easy for me to say lots of cash or a big toy,
...

You are the light in my darkness.
You are the sunlight on a cloudy day.
You are the tissue when I've been crying, wiping away my tears.
You are my song that's always playing inside my head all day.
...

My life I know is very sad.
I yearn to be a loving dad.
The Obstacles are far and wide.
I've tried running around the side.
...

Get a knife, to end my life.
Try a noose, and hang loose.
Drown in gin, is that a sin.
Climb on a ridge, jump from a bridge.
...

A woman I seek
A woman to keep
Sick of this life
I want me a wife
...
