In the wake of darkness
I could pick you out of a crowd
Just by the smell of your scent
Because it's my favorite perfume

I could pick you out of a crowd
With no doubt in my mind
Because it's my favorite perfume
You wear it all the time

With no doubt in my mind
I would wear it when you no longer do
You wear it all the time
I will not ever stop taking it in

I know you are my mother
Just by the smell of your scent
No matter where I am
Even in the wake of darkness
I wanted to try something different so I decided to write a pantoum. Enjoy!

I hate the way you lie
I hate the way you look at me
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the way you apologize
After you make me feel sad
After you made me felt useless
After you made me felt like I was nothing at all
I hate the way you made me felt  helpless
I hate the way you made me felt hopeless
I hate that you took away everything I cared about
I hate the way you broke my heart
I hate the way you took my heart in your hands and crushed it
I hate that you were there for me
I hate the fact that you made me soulless
I hate the fact that you made me cold hearted
I hate the fact that you made me heartless
I hate that I can't be myself
I hate the fact that you made me just like you
Because of you, I am heartless, I am cold-hearted
I am soulless
Because of you I am so harshed to all guys
I am always paranoid
I am always hurting men's feelings
Breaking their hearts
Look what you've done to me

"I don't want to give you all of me,"
She mused.
"and end up with none of me."
"The fear of giving away what is, oneself and thus, what is, everything."

This started out as a lyric that was sung. But now, it's a short poem in monologue.

I’m dying for a lover
and a good night’s sleep
but I’ll settle for a song
and some CBD
maybe throw in a short cry
