The playground at the park
I not what it once was
But I barely remember
Its past in all the buzz
I remember a tire swing
And I recall a yellow slide
I don't know whether
They tore it down
Before or after
My childhood died
I remember woodchipped ground
I remember playing alone
But I can't seem to remember
Any of my life at home
I remember I was bullied
But I don't remember how
I remember I forgot
So why does it matter now?
I remember being scared
Of stepping on the cracks
I'm still scared of in-betweens
Of all the memories I lack
The big tire swing
Where we used to fight for turns
Is gone without a trace
Like my memories that burned
