Government puts a limit on the number of people who can commit suicide per year.
Main character, a guy, wants to kill himself but the limit has already been reached.
As the year goes by, his partner helps him and he seems to be getting better, but when the new year rolls around, he decides to kill himself anyway.
I guess the meaning of the poem is that some people just can’t be saved.
(If anyone else would like to read the poem, it’s here.)
