I was once,
chocolate and strawberry cheesecake
cinnamon rolls and vanilla cream
passing through rooms
leaving behind trails of majestic aroma
oh, the perfect effigy!

Now?
I'm burnt toast, bad cheese,
sour milk and broken glass.

I was once,
good morning hello's and goodnight kisses,
birds chirping and running dogs.

I am... I am...

I was.
