Sadness & Whiskey

I want you to tell me how I smell?

Can you smell the disappointment

I carry in my heart over the fact that

I was never loved by my father?

Can you smell the distain I hold

against my self? I want to know

if men lie about women smelling

like cigarettes and sadness or

roses and happiness.. Can you

smell the hurt that lies always on

the surface on my skin? Please,

tell me that I smell more than

sadness and whiskey..
