• We stand on the edge
    of the looming cliff
    looking around us
    for any help to be found

    Tears sting at my eyes
    as well as your own
    our hands grasp tightly
    neither wanting to let go

    I cry out to the emptiness
    my heart begins to quiver
    darkness descends upon us
    like a molten river

    Yet we still hold on
    our grasp ever tighter
    then you smile sadly at me
    as I feel you let go

    I try to go with you
    yet my body won't follow
    crying alone on the edge
    of the rocky ground

    I hear you faintly whisper
    'no fear' and 'go on'
    as I am left with nothing
    but my cold and empty self     cry
