Child's Play
The word I won’t say lest it scare her off That sits at the top of my tongue waiting to slide down and out And when it does the playground will be open to me Or not. The word I won’t say because it scares me to say it To let myself go and leave myself open To what she says in return What If the seesaw drops and she is not there on the other end Other words come easy I will climb up and over them Roll with them on the grass Shout them from the top of the castle But they are not what I feel I yearn to not always play alone in the sandpit I want to take walks to the point and further To grow up just enough to At some time stop acting like a child Gain the courage to say I love you But only in some moments The rest I just want to play on the swings.
