I closed my eyes
Refusing to look down or back.
They tied us together with bands.
You were my guide, my anchor, my safety
I put my love in your hands.
Indissolubly locked together we were pushed
Off the edge
Plunging down into the abyss
Screaming my fear through my cries
Of the unknown, the roaring water,
The rain battering our eyes.
I clung to you passionately for life,
Terror gripping me
As tight as I gripped you.
My mind lost track
As we swooped and rose
Abandoned, no holding back.
For one second I opened my eyes,
Saw the cliff walls rushing up round us
And you staring down danger
Eyes open, afraid of nothing.
You let me go for an instant
And held out your arms like wings.
I was afraid of falling
But you, you just wanted to fly.
Debbie felt like she had invaded
