"The Swing"

Whimsical laughter echoes in the air

then, tears flow from innocent eyes (swing back,swing forth)

"You Stupid! Can't you do anything right?"

Torrid anger released like demons upon a fragile soul (swing back,swing forth)

"I told you NOT to do that! Didn't I tell you?! ,

why do you make me hurt you?!" (swing back, swing forth)

Bruises on tender flesh, a spirit broken, a youthfulness stolen, a life shattered

as if it mattered.... (swing back,swing forth)

God sees....God knows...

IT MATTERS !

A psychotic disregard killed her spirit

A mindless blow killed her soul (swing back,swing forth)

....( the swing is empty )

There will be an asking back for what was not theirs to take

There will be a reckoning

She is at peace...the earth is silenced...

" Mommy, why couldn't you just have loved me?"
