budding daffodils beneath cotton skies
a fleeting moment, captured with my eyes
the heavy thought of tomorrow
replaced with natures beauty
walking home in the pouring rain
letting the bus pass me by
and the worries from yesterday
are slowly washing away
one rain drop at a time

I'm stuck on the perfume bottle
That's sitting on the shelf
You bought it as a gift
Now I wear it
for someone else.
I spray it on my neck
and I rub it on my wrists
And for one split second,
I forgot that you exist.
I feel butterflies
When I catch his gaze
He called me gorgeous
Just the other day.
It's reassuring actually,
The butterflies haven't died.
You didn't ruin me completely,
I just needed to revive.
I wish you nothing but good,
And I hope with time, you're happy.
Despite the heartbreak
and the shell you made of me.
I look in the mirror and my eyes have a spark
And for the first time in years,
I see the girl I was at the start.
And with one deep inhale,
I breathe in the scent
Of the perfume you gifted me,
I am free. I am content.
