The canyon floor below
Our feet are at the edge
Toes hanging in the air
We stare down the abyss
The beauty of the desert
With the ugliness of our hearts
Two radically different worlds
Destined to meet
If not for my cowardness
I stepped away from the ledge
Leaving you there to take the jump alone
I will regret abandoning you
A pain I will carry
But not as painful as letting you go
