When you were there,
It was like bright sun.
It shone down on me,
Made me feel human again.
For all of my life,
I was hanging off a cliff.
One hand holding on,
And bit by bit I would slip.
And then you came,
And took my hand.
You started to pull,
To bring me back.
I was finally coming out,
Of the darkness I was in.
Rising up from the canyon,
And coming to the ground.
But it lasted only so long,
Before you looked down.
With a sad look,
You said it was too hard.
You didn’t want to try,
And you were sorry.
But when you let go,
You didn’t look back.
To see my pained face,
As I slipped from the top.
Plummeting down,
Toward the ground.
And I looked down,
And I couldn’t see what waited.
And I looked up,
And I could see your face.
And in that one moment,
When nothing made sense.
I chose,
And I turned,
And down I went.
