She usually smells like coffee
Lips lick of chocolate
Fingertips melting grip on my hips
But this morning
I awoke to the stench of torn landing gear
The sound of metal and rubber scraping against concrete
Flight attendant instructions
Tight polyester rubbing against skin
Motion sickness
She smells like leaving
Like tears
Like goodbyes taste on Sunday afternoons
She smells like lies
Looks like heartbreak
Like I tore her skin off to see myself in it
She smells like me being broken again
For the 2nd
3rd
4th time this week
shes taste like im not enough
like I once was
but not for long enough
she looks like
she looks like
she looks like
she looks like she still loves me
but doesn’t remember how to hold me
I imagine I look like a lie
Like its time for goodbye
Like I smell like her being broken for the
10th
11th
12th time today
she looks like shes running away
I look like im letting her leave
We look like we fallen out of love
she looks
i look
we look
but we dare not touch
