Smells


The Unfirmiliar smell

Traveling all around me

Its cheap and strong

Coming from my dad's mouth

Tears start to flow

My family chears with happiness

No one understands

They think im happy

That I'm finally with him

Questions flow in my mind

Why is this smell surrounding me?

He smiles drunk and says "I love you"

But why is it that i feel hated

Forgiving is difficult

I will forgive but i will never forget

The strong stench of alcohol.
