sorry for what happened
earlier, i swear i tried to take
the blame but...

he wouldn't listen to me. i didn't
mean to start this whole thing
between us.

he told me this isn't a playground,
you can't go hoping from heart to
heart, tearing them apart like monkey
bars.

he told me i can't going swinging
around in people's thoughts without
putting it to a stop, like a slipper
swing after it had just finished raining.

he said people
aren't playgrounds. i hope i didn't
come across like that. because you're
more than just a damn swing, slide, or
money bar. your the only person
keeping me apart.
