Childhood Memories

Swinging way too high, 
Almost over my head, 
One more push and I'm over the top;
I'm sent to the wall.
Powerless and incomplete
Smiling although I'm headed for trouble.
Glances across the distance - 
I don't care what anyone thinks.
Free of doubt, 
Further every time I reach
Lightning colliding with cool grounds
Icy with a warm sensation, 
Closer to despair, 
Boiling red slipping from his face
I move a little closer
I know he's gone for sure.
The darkness is setting in - 
A thunderstorm in January, 
Soaking wet, no drop of rain, 
Can't distinguish between blood and tears.
Fireworks above me, almost complete, 
I give myself one more push, 
Slowly closing, I let myself go, 
And I am now free.
