Broken

I sprayed a bottle of perfume in the room.
I applied an amount too on my body.

It was sweet, intoxicating, fragrant.

I felt lightness for a second but never took long...
I could still feel you.

Your smell,
the warmth of your touches--
all the broken promises.

Braced myself, fingers on my toes
I was lying on a floor, weeping, wasted, drained, pathetic.

Tried my best to stay still.  Denying my thoughts, like a time bomb that would detonate any minute, and I'm too weak to stop it, I exploded.

Now, I've got skin so transparent. Loud voice echoing in my head,

felt numb, cried with a straight face,
couldn't smile, so I faked it.

So naive of me to think I'm your only,
Fucked by your eyes everytime you glanced at me,
making me feel like the sum of seven wonders.
Like a starlight and beautiful spectacles.
Making fantasies come true out of the hushes and whispers.

But those moments felt like a day-dream now in the middle of the night.
Becoming nightmares in my sunless morning.

I'm all left with a broken dreams,  puzzle without pieces. Heart of mine' been fooled, drowned in tears, hopes gone low, I'm breathless.

But in that intance,
until now,
still...you.

I sprayed a bottle of perfume in every corner the room.

Everything reminds me of you.
