Commandeering the city bus,
Scaring folks with all th’ fus,
Doing what I absol’ mus’,
I breakdown feeling sus,

What’s brought me here t’ this,
Decisions made chasin’ bliss,
Aimed high ‘n’ low, all miss’d
Deviating got them pissed

Trying hard t’ stake a claim,
Risking life as a maim,
Dodging right my own blame,

Digging deep and pushing on,
Feeling like its soon gone,
Twilights fast approaching dawn,

It’s fading in my memory now,
Quite certain even if I vow,
It’s too late to solve for how,

My fill of regret and shame,
Fleeting is this torches’ flame,
Part of me is lost jus’ the same,

As I fall on to the floor,
Just past the bus’s door,
Dripping with my own gore,
My last breath fights for more,
“What if” has so much in store,

On my tongue is but a name,
As I circle back this game,
What couldn’t’ve been th’ same

A wound that ends this life,
Feelings so old and rife,
Never letting go of strife,

Now it all ends right here,
Wishing I had been more dear,
Part of me’s gone, is clear.
