Claustrophobic tall walls keep closing in the farther he fled
As he rounded a corner, he came to a sheer cliff face announcing it was the end of the road
Now all he could do was turn around and confront his greatest fear
Years had passed since the last time he had faced the gunslinger
On that occasion. he had escaped with only losing his dignity
Now it was time to pay for all those years of running… A single shot echoed.
Coming up to the edge and looking down
Leaves her feeling butterflies in the stomach and light headed
It makes her feel like she could fly if she just had faith and took that last step.
Focusing on that feeling, she makes her decision and closes her eyes, allowing herself to drop
Falling backward, she lands on a pillow of grass, happy with her choice
Conundrum of faith
Looking over the edge and seeing only the unknown
It makes one pause wondering if you should take that next step
Following your heart, believing that you can fly or…
Fearing the fall and fitfully fleeing…

Knowing how to fly wasn’t the hard part
It was when you attached a large sail of cloth to your back
Then stood at the top of a cliff and took that first step
Everything from there was just physics

Cliff below and cliff above
Left Hermione hanging for her life
It was a real rush putting it all on the line like this
Making it a contest of wills, hers against her body’s
Betting on herself she lunged for the next handhold

So it was a David versus Goliath affair
Liam felt his hopes dangling on the edge of a cliff
If he ever lost faith that he had a chance
Nobody would fault him, but
Giving his shoulders a heave he walked over and asked her out

Careening down the road without a care
Love was lost, and Bonnie was determined to find it
If it meant driving from sea to shining sea, she would do it
Finding love wouldn’t be an easy thing she knew
For it had listened to her when she told it to jump off a ….

Only Brandon kept Katheryn from falling from the cliff. She clung to his hand with both of hers, thinking the bond between them unbreakable. This lie was slowly fading as the life blood keeping that grip alive ebbed out the open wound of Brandon’s heart.
“I said I was sorry,” Katheryn said for like the twentieth time while hanging there. “Don’t let me go.”
“You and Corey stab me in the heart, and you expect me to stay?” Brandon asked.
With that he let go and walked away as Katheryn fell off her emotional cliff and crashed into pain below.
