Ever wake and realize it's gone
Not just gone I mean GONE
You have drifted on like a train wreck
Looking for a place to happen
A culmination of ostrich behaviour
A summary of ignoring signs
The last post plays in the distance
The day you realize you can't do this
Not just another day, not another week
Not at all
You play over how to plan the escape in your mind
You can't call it suicide, but they will
You find you stare at trees "bit of rope" job done
Or walk barefoot on the shore, further out all the time
The third rail is looking good !
Tablets and *****, ***** and razor, or all three
What makes it worse is the "Oh we wish we knew"
The oh his poor wife oh the children
Why do you think he did it!

The Bath was the option chosen
I never knew why he did it
I just cleaned up afterwards
Reassembled his torso
Bagged his belongings
I never knew why, never will
The note was a ramble to me
I guess a last eruption of emotion
I think I've had days as bad
Where sadness drowns you
Fear chases you
Emptiness overpowers logic
But here I am and he is gone
Who was the bravest
He had his great escape
