two weeks in grey (backyard version)

by buttonfly

/
1.
in two weeks we'll meet again in grey. you'll wear that tie and I'll wear the same dress, and a solemn attitude that got us this bad mood. And I"ll wrap my scarf around my neck too tight, and dance while I wait for you, under the parking lot light. When things get worse, as they're bound to do, when things get worse who will be with you? (x2) When I was seven I learned to hold my breath from the shallows to the deep end -- I was ready for collapse, I was ready for the world to end. In dreams you're always kicking underwater, swimming to a place I can't follow. With my cheeks puffed out I'll hold my breath in, and wait and wait and wait til you jump back in. It's been the best of times, it's been the worst of worst, I'm not sorry though I'm cursed. Your absence clorinates the empty space, I'm back stroking trying to see your face. Many years ago we met in black, you wore a tie and I wore the same dress, and I held and I held my breath.
