Scent.

By Dei


Phero.moans causing fleeting fantasies
Bringing me to knee.
Choking on memory.
I'm praying you'll touch me with those eyes again someday.
And the sweat from my palms soak the silk of your thong
As it rests between my shaking hands
And this...
...This is the way I die.

With the scent of my own nervous perversions leaking from my guilt clogged pores
Saturating into the fabrics you left (still warm)
Stapled to the letter hanging from the door
Saying simply, "Goodbye." and signed, "I hope you die."

    Your pain is echoed in the corridors of my soul.

  • A former member wrote: powerful, and powerfully leaving me longingly wanting to embrace thee, a hug that fits most comfortably.

    ...this is profound. so many scenarios can be conjured up to shed light on the composing of such a malicious farewell letter...

    Sounds like that one's irretrievably broken probably. Most profoundly postulated and the longing is palpable - and who's to decorate a perceived perversion with descriptive adjectives anyway? Cheers!
