Obsession

Today I walked by the fragrance counter at the department store.  The cruel side of me sprayed a card with your scent.  The weak side of me held it to my nose.  I closed my eyes and inhaled you.

Tangle of hair...
Heat of skin...
Pant of breath...

filled my haunted heart.  I opened my eyes and I was alone again.

I live with your ghost.
