Illegal Consumption
January 6, 2015
The scent so strong.
A smell so awful,
It chokes me to death.
Rotten.
It was on your breath,
Your clothes,
Your lips.
The smell, it clings to you,
The air,
To us.
A habit you can’t break.
Letting it take over your body,
Controlling it from head to toe.
You were no longer you,
You became someone else.
Someone, completely different.
Now you leave me behind.
Allowing it to force you,
Make you forget me.
The way your mouth forms,
Like the way it formed to my lips.
It replaced me.
I no longer knew who you were.
I won’t be able to forget us,
But I’m having to leave us.
