i used to be the one
who wore your
scent
and carried it around with me
in enjoyment.
but now your scent
is on her
and she carries it around with her
like i was never
there before.

oversized, i still loved it
i still clung onto it despite
the empty space
but now it’s on her
fitted
as if you’re clinging onto her, so that i have no space to come back in.
background : i saw her (today, in the hallway) with his sweater that i used to wear often. the time i had to give it back was one of the most emotionally damaging moments i’ve ever gone through.
