Swing
And empty swing creaks
In Trinidad alone in the dark
The same one I swing her on
Many years ago in the same park
It’s the first time I see it
Since I was twenty years
Just looking at it brings back
The pain and the tears
She said that she is so sorry
And wish to get me back again
Said the poorness of her parents
Made her cause me so much pain
When I got in the accident
And every one though I died
And I laid in alone in a coma
She said many nights she had cried
She though I would not come back
And she wanted to wait till eternity
But my friend use his father wealth
And her parents force her to marry
Then months after when I pull thru
Her heart just died in side
She broke down where she was
And everyday just she cried
Their marriage end in divorce
Because it was never build on love
And she said every living second
I’m the one she’s thinking of
The day I awake in the hospital
My first words was to call her name
But she was not there
And I ask them why she did not came
No one wanted to tell me
That she’s not going to come again
Then an arrow when thru my heart
And from that day I live in pain
How did I survive I don’t know
I put my head down and breathe
I live alone for many years
Only going out to get what I need
Although many years have past
But every day I wake in the hospital
And I know it’s just in my mind
But it won’t leave me at all
I feel sorry for her now
An although she is sorry for her doing
I will always keep her in my heart
But I can never love her again
