Scent

 

 

The fragrance of your body lingers
throughout each day.
I can smell you on my pillow,
on my clothes,
and in the air.

I can feel my skin prickle
as your sweet aroma courses
through my veins.

My blood rushes.

My heart picks up a beat.

Your scent is tantalizing and
at the same time paralyzing.
I always wonder,
"Have you really left?",
and I find that you have not.
