Bullet For My Valentine

Standing alone
In a darkened room
Heart beating
Faster and faster
No way in
No way out
No windows
No doors
Walls
Just walls
High as
The highest monument
To have ever existed.

Turning in circles
Looking
Seeking
Praying
Waiting
Only darkness in sight
Pleading
Hoping.

A bullet
Fast as
The speed of light
Shoots through the wall
A thin ray of light
Shines through
In the darkness
Consumed room.

Going over
Using a dull nail
Picking at the tiny hole
Tiny pieces of the wall
Peel away
Crumbling
Turning into ash
Floating away
Blowing away.

Sticking an arm
Out the hole
Feeling the sunlight
The warmth
Trickling over the flesh.

Wishing for an escape
The walls suddenly
Vanish into thin air.

In the meadows
The sunlight
Warming the nude flesh
Sunflowers
And daisies
Tickling the sensitive skin.

Rotating in circles
Taking in the surroundings
Gasping in awe
The chirping
Of the bluejays
Soft sound
Of rushing waves.

Nothing dark
But everything heavenly
What was once dark
Is now anything but
It is now bursting with light
Everything is beautiful.
