Scented Illusions

"silence of me"

I never knew you the way you knew me

I never stared at you the way you did me

I never made love to you

I never wrote you a love letter

I never cried over you

I never would die for you

I never realized how ugly you can be

I never let you past that first wall

I never would break your fall

I never could finish a poem like this

I never wanted something so bad

I never knew how to get around your minds mist

I never sleep well anymore

I never drink moderately

I never smoke when it’s appropriate

I smell of never

It’s bleeding out my ears

My head is ringing

Never is bringing me to tears

Never that moment again

Never that same touch

Never is so much more then nothing

Never is never enough

Never is my only friend

Never is bringing me to tears
Never that moment again
Never that same touch
Never is so much more then nothing

It's here, in these lines that I felt your words.
Loved the poem.

"I smell of never, It's bleeding out my ears" are my favorite line. "never" has a hypnotic effect and is beautifully used.

Oh how very sad! A lost love and such longing, and sense of defeat and hopelessness you have expressed!
You have conveyed sadness to bring me to tears..........where are my kleenex?
Never is so very never!
