i used to likethe scent of lavender
and chamomile
and for some odd reason
your cologne
always smelt
of chamomile
and
lavender
it was
oh so sweet
but you
stopped being
the human
i thought i knew
and you
turned into
something
else
and you left me questioning
was it you?
or a beast who had found home
under your skin
but regardless
of who
you were
or rather
what
you were
you were still
a beast
and found great
pleasure
in making me
feel
like
i
was
the
problem
and now
the sweet scent
of lavender
and of chamomile
is
too
sweet
so
sickeningly sweet
that it makes
me
gag
