His 5 Senses
as i look into his eyes,
the eyes that used to love me
i see nothing but a blank expression
as i hear his voice,
the voice that used to calm me
i hear nothing but a monotone sound
as i smell his aftershave,
the scent that used to cling to me
i smell nothing but pain
as i feel his touch,
the skin that used to hold me
i feel nothing but emptiness
as i taste his lips,
the flavour he used to crave
i taste nothing but disgust
and now i know what it’s like,
to be in love with someone who no longer loves me.
