Following Love

There on the cliff she stands He puts up his hands, With all she’s been through, there is no reason to stay But without her he can’t go one more day. She’s ready to give up her life And he’s ready to fight for his wife. No tears fall from her face On his way to her, he quickens his pace As the wind blows her hair, He whispers the quietest prayer Her heart so sad beats, its slow lullaby He knows he won’t ever be able to say goodbye Inches from the fall He makes his final call She can’t live this life anymore He knows it’s this or never more. Her chest slowly moves in and out His heart screams out So close to the edge, there she stands Ever so slowly does he grab her hands. All she wants is peace and rest He pulls her close to his chest She looks him in the eyes, He knows it’s this, or say his goodbyes She stands there not moving, as if she was on pause Filled with terror he nods She leans ever so slightly He holds her more tightly She goes because she is empty and hollow His love for her makes him follow.
