your eyes were wet
with tormented waters
and your hands trembled
as they opened up
to let me fall
down your mountain

i climbed for years
up that winding road
to reach your peak
and taste your lips
on mine

we stood together
and waved our flags
of triumph and glory
on top of your mountain

you barely spoke a word
when you dropped your banner
and looked away
from my eyes

i barely spoke a word
as the ground beneath my feet
gave out and i fell
clinging desperately
to your mercy

although i give you credit
for thinking twice about my fate
i must protest my dear
you pushed me off your mountain
without so much
as a final kiss
goodbye.
