Perfume

Your scent still haunts.

Your mesmerising tantalising perfume,

Gets under my defences so easily;

All these long years past!

Each day starts with,

Me telling self;

I am over you,

I don't remember her.

Well hell, don't stop to think once

If forgotten, how the reminder stayed.

One whiff of that perfume,

And all controls are gone.

All defences overcame.

Every ounce of willpower,

Flown far far away.

This has to stop,

This can't stay on!

Wishful thinking,

Never gonna happen.

You reside in me,

You are my subconscious.

Accepting that fact,

Somehow makes living easier.

Can't fight everything, they say!

Can't get over everyone!
