A wandering woman passed me today And she was wearing your perfume, Memories flooded my mind Like a broken decrepit levee. My emotion was withering away, And I remembered our lit room, The laughing and laying without time, And then my heart grew heavy. - Blackened and purged, You left traceless and a ghost, A spectre that forsakes the shadows, I see you when I needn't most. Your darkened trails That linger in the frigid mist Remain spectral and withered, Waning like the wind, so brisk. The scent followed me home, And here I now can't stay, For pride and self loathing Have caused all this decay. I must bring about a solution For this to be forgotten, I must hope to breathe a new perfume, And for happy life to be lost in.

A Stalking Scent.
A wandering woman passed me today And she was wearing your perfume, Memories flooded my mind Like a broken decrepit levee. My emotion was withering away, And I remembered our lit room, The laughing and laying without time, And then my heart grew heavy. - Blackened and purged, You left traceless and a ghost, A spectre that forsakes the shadows, I see you when I needn't most. Your darkened trails That linger in the frigid mist Remain spectral and withered, Waning like the wind, so brisk. The scent followed me home, And here I now can't stay, For pride and self loathing Have caused all this decay. I must bring about a solution For this to be forgotten, I must hope to breathe a new perfume, And for happy life to be lost in.
