Swings

Back and forth my heart sways 

unable to know what the future awaits,

Needing to leave but wanting to brace the love that aholds in the pouring rains,

Deserted hearts and empty smiles,

Faking the poison as nectar pines,

Blazing myself in the torrid heat gambling the chance for you to retreat,

Monsters in my head keep telling me it’s in vain,

Just like the kid who swings alone in the rain.
