Yet another day bowed out
yet another light faded out
I hanged myself to the clock arms
But still there was tomorrow

The growing distance between us is the only thing that binds us together

Mind in two minds
heart down in the dump
hope flicker feebly
As you get ready for the jump

I slip in stealthily from behind
To catch you before you fall in the sump
but you take the plunge anyway
and I stand there stumped
