I smelled candle

when I got home tonight.
and I recall that I made the bed when I got up this morning.
there's clothes on the floor that aren't even mine.
whose earring is that on the pillow next to my night stand?
whose lipstick is smudged on my teddy bear?
and...
I can't question this anymore.
but...
I'll have you know,
I loved you first
when there was no one else.

Damn two timing bear-bear. All jokes aside_the past cannot hurt you anymore, someone just recently triggered a few lingering ghosts is all. I say... rid yourself of caged thoughts, love. Don't become a victim because you're too valuable in nature. .squeezes the Starling.Â

There's something magical about this one.. An emptiness, shimmering through words that had me hooked from the very first line. Stunning write!
