The scent that clings to me is undoubtedly yours
Masculine, subtle and overpowering
There is nothing I wouldn’t do
to ensure that for one moment
I am embedded in you in this consuming way
They way you have taken over me

I can still feel the tingle of our last kiss
Your arms wrapped around me
Your lips grazing my shoulder
and
Murmurs of I love you
and see you laters
and be safes

I can’t explain this desperate
feeling of loneliness
That takes over me
when I’m merely steps away
when I’ve turned my back to you
and I’m getting on the train

Running away from you

Do you feel it too?
The numbness, the feeling that you’ve left your heart behind
that your soul is withering before your eyes?
