Heartache and Soap

By MMD


I have washed your shirt

Too many times for the scent

To remain its perfect flirt

From the times I now lament.

Yet the scent remains in jest,

A solemn and vindictive remind

I shall never hold you to my chest,

Your presence, only in mind.

Those days have passed to past,

Now just thoughts of thought,

A dream I yearn to return at last,

Despite the misery that it wrought.

So I keep the shirt in an effort of hope

That the scent shall be purged with heartache and soap.
