if silence had a scent, it would smell like you

it would smell like your perfume

your bed sheets

your washing powder

your favourite foods

your house

because to me

you are silence

although you speak to me

you never really do

do you?

your silent

i can see the thoughts you keep inside

i can hear your shame

smell your silence

if silence had a scent it would be you

and even though it makes me sick, the sweet sickly smell of loneliness

id by any candle with that scent

id light them every day

i would wear it as my favourite perfume

i would breathe it in so deeply it became a part of me

because as much as i miss your words

i miss your silence more.
