I don’t know why we passed the limits.
Both of us knew better –
But starting, we just couldn’t stop,
We could not leave off trying
For she was freedom’s soul unleashed,
She wore no chain or fetter –
In fact, she wore no thing at all,
And I would just be lying
If I said I was overcome,
Instead of overjoyed;
But yes, I saw the danger there –
The trap I should avoid —
I do know why I passed the limits.
She showed me the edge —
And I was going to jump, the day
She met me
On the ledge
