Scent

The fragrance of your body lingers

throughout each day.

I can smell you on my pillow,

on my clothes,

and in the air.

I can feel my skin prickle

as your sweet aroma courses

through my veins.

My blood rushes.

My heart picks up a beat.

Your scent is tantalizing and

at the same time paralyzing.

I always wonder,

"Have you really left?",

and I find that you have not.
