Over my Obsessions.
I guess when they said obsession is a way for damaged people to damage themselves more, they weren’t being dishonest.
Cause how does the sight of a swing makes my heart sink?
How does the sound of its whipping causes me to weep?
Tell me. Why does a mere swing still causes my heart to bleed?
No, I refuse to remain under the effects this swing causes.
They left and so I must too
So with the lightening of a matchstick, I set it ablaze.
Altogether with all the beautiful memories we shared.

ALL GONE
I had a flashback
Dancing to the rhythm of my before
It was a phobia that struck
I hadn't been able to get on with
The swing and the environment;
Own a place as a part of my livelihood
My mother used to be my back pusher
Thereon she passed on; the memory burned
“I wish I never knew her!! " She left
“Why would the swing still be alive?!”
The rage burned deep inside, I had to;
I lit a fire, the flame hovered through the swing rings
I never felt peace afterwards
All I felt was solace…
