I keep thinking
The **** tightens
Past, present and future
And the **** tightens

How did I get here?
How do I get out of here?
What do I do from here?
How do I move on from here?

The smell of cigarettes I didn’t smoke
Unwashed dishes I didn’t use
Pills i don’t have to take
But I might anyway

**** no more

The glass shatters
Her scent is still sweet and fresh
Like watermelon
But her voice is not the same
It’s sharp as a butchers knife
Bitter like vinegar

Only for a while
Then it changes
Now it’s soft and fragile
Weak
But her scent is still the same
Sweet and fresh like watermelon

When I heard it last
It was indifferent
Like a stranger you won’t notice anyway
Or a conversation you weren’t really listening to
She left everything but her scent
Sweet. But sickening
Like rotten watermelon

— The End —
