Looking at couples walk down the street,
I begin to ask Why are they happier than me?
The way he looks at the other guy
I am truly unhappy, but it's unclear why
Nevertheless my wife approches my side
They push her to the breaking point,
Her toes curled over the edge,
Should she jump or stay?
Does she want to die or live?
She's on a cliff,
On a tropical island,
Inhabited by hostile natives,
