I'm stuck on the perfume bottle
That's sitting on the shelf
You bought it as a gift
Now I wear it
for someone else.
I spray it on my neck
and I rub it on my wrists
And for one split second,
I forgot that you exist.
I feel butterflies
When I catch his gaze
He called me gorgeous
Just the other day.
It's reassuring actually,
The butterflies haven't died.
You didn't ruin me completely,
I just needed to revive.
I wish you nothing but good,
And I hope with time, you're happy.
Despite the heartbreak
and the shell you made of me.
I look in the mirror and my eyes have a spark
And for the first time in years,
I see the girl I was at the start.
And with one deep inhale,
I breathe in the scent
Of the perfume you gifted me,
I am free. I am content.
