The mountain climb

I climb the mountain

At the far end of town

In the dark of the night

With quiet as my companion 

And the moon as my guide

With no gear

Didn't plan on doing this

Was going for a walk

Needed some air

Just heard some devastating news

Knock the wind out me 

And I needed to breath again

But none of this air will do 

Not down here

Not in her with them

So I climbed

To the highest peak

Pure determination 

Maybe up there

There would be bliss

Away from this madness

And she said it to me so casually

Like we were discussing some comedic movie 

Like it was normal for me to hear

I got to top

Two hours flat

I stood above our town

And I let out the biggest

Scream

I took a deep breathe

And released

Onto to the town

My pain

Today I recieved horrible news

And even up there

It hurt all the same

But the screaming kept coming

Til it was just a whisper 

Til my throat went dry

And my voice was weak

I took the air in

And I fell to the ground

And I weeped

On the highest peak

For today I loss someone

And with them

Went my voice 

And staying with me 

Was the grief

Here in the darkness

Alone
