An abandoned swing,
as unpleasant as her memories,
chains me in rusted mistakes.
A lonely swing,
as colorful as her regrets,
brings me to an unfaithful sky.
squeaking laughter and broken smiles,
her intellect bruises my knees.
screaming footsteps and jumping secrets,
she persuades my body to ache.
A fenced in park,
as uncontrolled as her temper,
locks me in its crime scene.
A popular and friendly park,
as confident as her self-tied shoelaces,
strips me naked on the pavement.
fighting toddlers and empty nights,
her beaming face triggers my tears.
concerned mothers and healing company,
his eyes scared them all away.
an abandoned girl,
as innocent as the sunlight,
asks me to listen to her story.
an abused girl,
as young as a flower yet to bloom,
tells me she'd die to forget herself.
An abandoned swing,
as unpleasant as her memories,
goes back and forth in my mind.
like a pendulum of unstoppable sorrows.
i wish i could end the ride for her.
A lonely swing,
as colorful as her regrets,
paints ageless red on her skin.
a six year old's way of feeling a different pain.
dreamless nights and taunting scars
she wishes on the luminessence of stars
she asks for an illumination of her soul
for God to forgive her and take full control
she blames herself for letting him take her away,
she tells the world she doesn't deserve to stay.
she asks me for a deadly bottle of pills,
enough to provide her a handful of kills.
but i refuse to help her die in vain,
so she runs away to resolve the pain.
A helpless swing,
as lost as her body at sea,
damns my heart with her memory.
