Foreign Perfume

You left
me breft,
your perfume
remains
still,
same 
fragrance
that
used to
wrap 
me,
yet and now
it is
somewhat sour
and foreign
at this hour,
it reminds
that
it would be
now 
smelled
by another,
wore
for him
that is
now
yours,
My mind
is in torment
and ferment
agony
eyes stony
as it pervades
rather invades
me,
against my will
I feel so BAD
and dyingly sad.
