Brown

a color

the stench of my skin

My blood it

reeks of red

Sniff

my name

a foreign sound

A common tongue

that stinks the same

Get a whiff

of my god

a displeasing odor

The tang of a heartbeat

in you, in me

Can you smell my pain?

You and I

two flowers

two scents

in the same world

I am sorry it bothers you so much.
