The Swing

The girl swings steadily
The pendulum of the solitary grandfather clock
Memories blurring into obsessions
Thinking, thinking, thinking
What if, what that?
Why, why, why, why?
Was it her?
Was it them?
Tears form behind her eyes
No, no, no, no
She must keep her head high
She grabs the swings ropes tighter
She swings back and forth
Back and forth
Until she's apart of the moon and stars
Watching, watching, watching
Thinking, thinking, thinking
