Just in July

Her life is not bad by any means
He is privileged in many ways
People tend to minimize their pain
In relation to other people's valid wails
Perhaps to cope,
Perhaps to deny
A cycle of comparison
Where we say "we're better off"
Better off, now than before
So it's okay, right...
We should be happy, yes?
Once again, she smiles, unconsciously
As doubts flood his mind

In her reality,
There is a swing, over there, 
Can't you see it?
Beyond the horizon, where the sky meets the sea
As the fiery sun leaves begrudgingly,
Moonlight quiets her world
Is there more I could be doing, she asks 
Witnesses of the night, stars

There is a swing, in the corner of 
His beating heart, can't you hear them
The thumps-
Between frustration and calm
With every twilight moment,
He slowly loses power...
Stuck in a waiting game
He didn't sign up to play
What else can I do, he pleads

Tell me, 
before I give up
Tell me,
before I stop caring
Tell me how to get off
I won't get on it again,
I promise
And they collectively realize, 
A truth
Swings can stop flying~ 

Alone.
