Our Place

I walk that lonely range each night,

past that ridge damaged deeply true.

To blind myself from my site,

all because I walked away from you.

I follow those memories to my seat,

and gaze across to the valleys distant shore.

Where I wait for you with me to meet,

of which I have done this many times before.

This view across to a reflections side,

where my pride and hope lay still.

I can see the best of me has died,

behind myself watching you to me kill.

I walk that lonely range to my sight,

and force myself to look ahead.

Knowing its blindness is painfully bright,

it numbs me to all my sunken dead.

I follow those memories to the valleys ledge,

hoping to get a glimpse of you.

Placing my life on its edge,

I search the vastness of my review.

This view I see behind my eyes,

simple and with a darkened skew.

It\'s where I come to watch myself die,

it\'s the only place I\'m with you.
