"A Degree in Failing"

~J. Wildes


And I reassure you on your last train home
I'll be on the tracks; you'll watch it break my bones
And shatter my heart, before you get your chance
To apologize

And I'll be leaving soon
But you'll be better off

The noose is hanging down
And I am on the box
It fits around my neck
Like your hands and your heart

It's a long way down; don't you break my fall
Soon I will hit the ground; don't you break my fall
They all saw you push me.
