Perfume

Medicine, tastes bitter on my lips
I follow the scent of perfume, sweet while aimless
Short sharp breaths sting and hiss
I step beyond my bounds to find the little I have missed;
Staring at a mirror until
I can’t recognize my face;
Sinister, I watch and wait
From far away;
You called
I cannot come;
You need
I’ll leave you be;
Sit and watch your hair
In the wind I attempt to apply meaning to this
I can’t patch the hole left in my heart
And all that comes with it
Staring at a mirror until
I can’t recognize my face;
Sinister, I watch and wait
From far away
From far away;
You called
I cannot come;
You need
I’ll leave you be
