The Abyss

You and me
We balance on the brim of a precipice
fickle and vulnerable
gazing into the depths of an abyss.

We are terrified to make a move
afraid to take a chance
so still we endure
gazing into the depths of an abyss.

But
This plight is not infinate
Ultimately
our limbs will weaken
our legs will buckle
and we will plunge 
to safety
or 
to death
soon no longer shall we waver
gazing into the depths of this abyss.
