[2018] Tied Up In Knots

   
All that stands between  
you and the rafters  
when it comes to talking about  
rather than actually committing  
suicide  
   
is the length of rope  
   
You can jaw endlessly  
on the subject for attention's sake  
until you are likewise    
blue in the face  
   
People will only listen  
tied up in knots over your welfare  
for so long before seeing through  
the empty noose where    
your neck supposedly was  
   
Few are likely to hang around;  
   
usually those only cheering you on  
in the hopes you will finally  
shut the fuck up
