For The Best

Imagine a song:
emotionless and bleak

The notes hum through the speakers, and I can't hear the words they sing.

My ears are weak.

Instead of sound,
they smell.

You ruined the music, and you left me in hell.

You said it was a beautiful place to be.

Do you hear the emotion in your voice as you speak?

I can smell the putrid monster in my sleep.

I can't feel what it's like to be free.

I can't feel what it's like to be heard or seen.

My apartment reeks with the smell of garbage and resentments.

I can't hear the humming anymore, as I reach to touch the silver lock on my door.

Maybe you'll come over to confess.

Are you able to hurt me less?

I can smell my heart rotting inside my chest.

After all you said: "this is for the best."
