Not a smile or a wink.

I give you applause.
It is a congratulation for your deception.
It promises departure,
Like the ships exporting goods from a busy port.

Here.
It will make you fall hard,
Like a bully when you were young.
It will make you change your mind,
About every aspect of love.

I am trying to be strong.

Not a hug or a kiss.

I give you applause.
Its echoing noise will ring in your ears,
Continuously and painfully,
As we are,
For as long as we are.

Take it.
Its for you to keep forever,
If you like.
Toxic.
Its scent will cling to other lovers,
Cling to your heart.
