For Those Who Understand

I walk through the valley,

The graveyard of souls.

I stand petrified, my

Bones one with the stones

So I plant my feet firm,

I look to the sky,

I try to find meaning,

In a victimless crime.

But victimless no,

You said it’d be just fine.

Just leave me alone,

I'll stand here for all time.

But your absence fills,

The air with a poison.

I hold back a breath,

But I can’t help the urge,

To fill up my lungs,

To keep my chest heaving,

I look all around,

I find all of this meaning.

As clear as the sky,

Was I only dreaming?

I clench my fists white,

I stare at the ceiling.
