it’s been awhile
since I last hold the bottle
the heady scent is still strong
recollecting by bits
smiles and laughter
hatred and bitter
inside our mind
the long-term memory won’t fade just like that
it stays
hurting what’s left inside
but i don’t wanna be reminded
i wanna stay secluded
like this
so let me be in denial
believing
that
it’s just another bottle of perfume
on my desk
nothing more
nothing less
