years later

in years before now, there was a smell that would follow me wherever i'd go.
a musk.
another time creeping into what was present, back then, my first job at rite aid.
calling.
this smell stayed with me for years until later i met you.
and you smelled like musk.

i knew something was wrong when i wasn't allowed to be in the sun anymore.
i was dropped off somewhere in the dark
left to fall asleep in the cold.
