Your Cologne

 

 

He's wearing your cologne

it lingers in the air

a powerful reminder

of past and memory

there’s a hate flooding these veins

a smile and tears flowing too close

to the surface

Denied

not that weak to think

we'll be once again

flowing to the music

passing the scent on

to a new face, an unnamed man

still too young

but he can be the boy that wears

a scent I try to change

inspiring images of screens and white hats

instead of your words

your voice

your smile

those blacks shirts

that black shirt sitting in the laundry

not with me, this time

but still...

he's wearing your cologne

and i fake not missing

that shade of you

that engraved into hearts
