Lies
I wake up in the morning,
The smell of your perfume lingering on my skin,
I roll over to see if your body still lay there,
& I realize everything I loved vanished.
I just have these images and scents stuck in my head,
I have everything you ever gave me packed away,
I look through it again and again each day.
Trying to piece the puzzle together,
& figure out why we drifted apart.
I want to know if you still think about me like I think about you,
I want to know if you still have the things I made and gave to you.
I just wish I could stop smelling you,
Stop thinking about you,
Just everything about you brings me to my knees,
& I am begging you please,
Please just let me forget you.
I wake up the next morning and realize,
Everything about you was lies.
