His 5 Senses

as i look into his eyes, 
the eyes that used to love me 
i see nothing but a blank expression 

as i hear his voice,
the voice that used to calm me
i hear nothing but a monotone sound 

as i smell his aftershave,
the scent that used to cling to me 
i smell nothing but pain 

as i feel his touch,
the skin that used to hold me
i feel nothing but emptiness 

as i taste his lips,
the flavour he used to crave 
i taste nothing but disgust 

and now i know what it’s like, 
to be in love with someone who no longer loves me.
