Squeaking Swing

Sitting on a squeaking swing
Alone in the dark as I think of you
A little bit of moon light
Through the leaves

A warm summer night
Next to a tree
That's where I think of you

A little bit of clouds
Spooky as I hear the silence
But terrifying as I think that I am alone
I'm frightened as I think of the darkness 

I hear an owl behind me
I hear the summer breeze 
I feel the light wind from my left 
As I feel the cold from my right

I hear the bugs as they have each other 
I hear a party from 5 kilometers South 
I hear the owl as he has found his partner 

But yet I sit alone on a squeaking swing 

The moon is now gone
The party is over 
And the owl flew away 

My position on the swing is getting soar 
My lungs are tired of breathing 
My heart is tired of pumping 
My eyes are tired of staring at what I can't have

Hey Johannes, Your poetry is beautiful! I am the girl from the boat and I realized I never told you my name. My name is Kyla and I would love to keep in touch ??. I also made an account on poetry soup and would love for you to critique my poetry if you would like.
