Helpless

 

Tight embraces were never my thing. 

I hugged you, you smelled of regret and heartbreak. 

You smelled so good and somehow the smell made my eyes start to water. 

As I was walking away I almost felt like I was helpless. 

I’ve become trapped; 

Within your smell, I was helpless.

If smell is the most powerful remembrance in terms of the senses, then it makes sense how you framed the emotions to be discernible from the rest of the perspective of this piece. Very good poem for being so short.?
