She looks and she sees
the tremendous length
And knows that the leap
would take more than her strength
She looks and she sees
the unfathomable depth
And knows that the fall
would take more than her breath
She looks and she's blinded
by the surrounding darkness
And knows that's the fate
of the headless, the heartless
She looks and she knows
that even if she leaps her farthest
She might succumb to
the length, the depth, the darkness
She looks and she leaps
regardless
