End Game

It’s been a party. That I know
 
                now that it’s nearly over.
 
We promised we’d leave together.
 
                Fall out of a plane
 
                                holding hands. Jump
 
                from one of the towers.
 
                                                                                   No chance.
 
You had your bit of surgery,
 
I’ve something in my blood.
 
                                                                 We’ll go our
 
separate ways, one before.
 
                                                  The other
 
                                                                                   at last.
