I chose to jump

How true one becomes when they shed real tears,
how real and vulnerable
Oh! How uncovered you were in my arms
and each shoulder's shudder brought you further into sight
and I knew I'd brought you there

I saw the fact, that
Love can die of betrayal,
it can die of jealousy and mistrust
and it can be taken away-
as easily as fire by rain

I put you out dear one,
climbed out of the sanctuary in your arms,
ran you to the cliff's peak,
brought you straight to the edge,
and just when you thought I might push you

I chose to jump
