• And as I am reaching out to you.
    Hanging from a cliff, arm stretched and eyes upon yours.
    Full of desperation and fear
    You don't reach back.

    I cried, and let the life leave me as I fell.
    Down into the canyon, Drenched in despair
    Everything moved slowly as I looked at your from a growing distance.
    Tears fell from my eyes, and I watched them float in the sky,
    Gliding on the wings of the wind, taking new life as I fall.

    The ground approaches. I can see every spec of dirt,
    And every thorn on every cactus.
    I can see each dried stick in the tumble weeds.
    I can hear the sounds of the bird swallows calling to one another.
    I can feel, the breath of the sky, and wonder why you left me here to die.

    I can hear your footsteps, walking in the opposite direction.
    I can hear your tears hit your shoes, and the silent sobs you sing.
    I can hear the melody of every stuttering breath you take.
    I listened to ever wallow and wail you cried out to me
    I focused on every hymn you hummed and every beat your heart made.

    And you let me fall.
