disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, nor do I claim to. So there.

a/n: this makes little or no sense, I suppose, and the grammar is really rough (kind'a the point). But I just had to get it down. Review, regardless, yeah? Oh yeah, it's Lily & Petunia just in case that wasn't clear. Also- happy new year!

when we were small we'd always be together

wearing matching hair ribbons and sailor dresses

and we'd play in the park until dusk came

and the crickets came out

you didn't like crickets

we'd head for home hand in hand

we slept in the same room on matching single beds

with matching pink duvets and pillows

and we'd whisper to each other when the lights were off

and oooh we were bad girls, breaking the rules like that

we'd be asleep by nine

we went to school together with knee high socks

and ribbons that didn't match

because I liked blue and you didn't

you thought it was a boy's colour

you liked yellow

you got your hair cut

to your ears

i thought you looked like a nun

so i grew mine out

and it was red and shiny in the sun

but you didn't really care for red

because you thought it was a stupid colour for hair

you dyed your hair brown

and I watched the dye swirl in the sink and down the drain

we never got post

because we were still a little young

but i got my letter

and you didn't

and you cried

but you wouldn't talk to me because you said i was

weird

bad

scary

evil

and I cried

and it was time for me to go away

and you took to the skies on a rope

made of ribbon and bright yellow

because you wanted to leave me behind

you wanted to climb far far above me

you did

i would come back to see you

but things were never really the same

i couldn't talk to you because i was metres below

you kept climbing and climbing and you left me behind

you left us behind

everything

the ribbons

the sailor dresses

the whispers in the dark

the red hair

the pink duvets

you didn't need me

or so you thought

i wrote to you even though he told me to stop

he said you weren't worth it

i yelled at him

but maybe you weren't

you kept climbing and I couldn't see you

you were hidden by the storm clouds

it must've been cold up there

you don't like the cold

or do you?

I don't really know anymore

and it stayed like that

until they came

and they got me

and they got him

and you

heard

cried

wailed

screamed

laughed (why?)

then you

pretended it was okay

lied

ignored

hated

and you're still with your fat husband

with your fat little boy

wearing your aprons and your dusters

and spying on the neighbours

and you thought you were climbing up but you're really climbing down

but either way

it doesn't matter

because you're still aiming for the sky

and the rope ain't gonna hold you

and neither will i.

end a/n:my line breaks have all disappeared- does anyone know how to get them back? thanks in advance. :)
