Not technically poetry, but the lyrics to the Every Time I Die song, Floater.

To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well.
I'll be leaving, you can't stop me.
We've been carrying on too long.
I'm sorry, but I'm gone. I've got a bad reputation to think about.
I've been dirty, I've been wrong.
Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up.
I'm stepping out to clear my head.
I'm breathing in to fill my lungs. We're all dead.
Farewell scenic highway overpass.
It's better this way anyways.
My lover, the river, makes a better soldier than a bride.
But I left my heart at the side of her bed and she's got the warmest body that I've ever had.
Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love.
Bring the children to the water, and let them see what heartache did.
This matrimony needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim.
You can teach them all to swim.
Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men. Drown us at birth, save her some time.
Drifting on romantic holiday, breathless as her cold arms cover me.
Drag the lake. You'll find it full of love.
