Pretty Pink Clouds

 

Remember, the weary service smile

Remember, pamphlets and brochures

Remember, silence heavy and loaded

Remember, being bound by inertia

Remember, arms folded tightly

Remember a fluorescent room

Remember, you’d have called her Violet

Remember, that horribly familiar tune

 

Powdered coffee in a plastic cup

Confused and inarticulate

I close my eyes and I picture you

And I remember what we used to do

How we used to

Where we used to

How good it used to be.

 

Everything was sanitised

Remember, you sat hushed and sterilised

Remember, the metal was cold against your thighs

Remember, counting back from ten

Remember, you made it down to five

Remember, your eyes closed like heavy gates

Remember, there was no going back

Remember, blood and water made pretty pink clouds

 

Powdered coffee in a plastic cup

Confused and inarticulate

I close my eyes and I picture you

And I remember what we used to do

How we used to

Where we used to

How good it used to be.

 

Plastic coffee in a powdered cup

You held my hair while I was throwing up

I close my eyes and I picture you

And I remember what we used to do

How we used to

Where we used to

How good it used to be.

 

Remember

Remember

Remember

Remember

 

Remember me.
