Grey
In the silence.
"Grey?"
No reply.
"Remember me? And all the tears I cried?
We were walking, slowly
Side by side
You were just in front
And right behind
And on my left and on my right;
And the dry wind blew dry dust
Into my blinking eyes. Remember?"
Look in the mirror.
"Grey -
Face it, either way
That vacant smile
On that broken face must be yours
Or mine."
The road was buzzing.
The sky was white and heavy
And low-slung,
And the pale sun was distant
In its lonely never-ending dance.
An empty crisp packet came skipping
Across the tarmac
And as the trees slow-danced
H e a d s - O n - S h o u l d e r s
The sky darkened in envy...
I thought I'd never need you again
As I walked, alone,
And the first raindrops scattered at my feet.
