And when we get to the edge of that cliff<\/p>\n
Would you promise to push me over and end my misery?<\/p>\n
Would you promise to let me go?<\/p>\n
To not shed any tears for me?<\/p>\n
And when we are lost in the woods…<\/p>\n
Do you promise to tie a firm knot<\/p>\n
And let me swing from the branch of that tree<\/p>\n
By my neck or my feet?<\/p>\n
And when I go under water<\/p>\n
Promise to tie an anchor to my feet<\/p>\n
So that I have no option but to sink<\/p>\n
To the bottom; the dark nothingness<\/p>\n
Promise…<\/p>\n
To tie me to the train tracks<\/p>\n
Then walk away<\/p>\n
Promise that you won ‘t look back<\/p>\n
Or change your mind<\/p>\n
Promise to let me find eternal happiness<\/p>\n
And I swear,<\/p>\n
I’ll only think of you in those last moments<\/p>\n
I’ll die with you name on my lips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
