Swing Set

My body keeps walking my sidewalk,

but I keep seeing the same things

because you left me

with no other choice

but to keep walking in place,

you told me you would be back to hold me

so I stay in place waiting for you.

I see myself swinging on my cranky swing set

and my chalky sidewalk

that never changes,

I see your giant body

trying to fit into my swing set,

trying to swing with me

holding my tiny body that's shaken with fear.

Even after it has been many years

I'm still in the same spot,

seeing the same things

replay over again,

I'm trying to beg you to see that

I don't want to play with you

but you're not coming back to you.
