Scent

My brain is haunted by this scent

it takes me back to a past event

it's like a drug that I need every day

I need to preserve it, have to get it my way

Forever I'll have this desire

this scent - keeps me alive and fills my soul

Forever engulfed by its fire

this scent - consumes my mind and takes control

The feeling I get when memory comes back

gives me something in my life I lack

it takes me away to the place I seek

and my being reaches its highes peak

I follow the trail it leaves behind

boxing it up is on my mind

preserving this scent is my aim

I satisfy my senses, that scent must sustain.
