His Scent

Making her way to her room
In her mind knowing tonight's not the night
Dreams won't come to tear stained cheeks
There are too many things wrong she wants to make right.

Crying into her pillow
Body shivering from the pain
Clutching to his once scented shirt
The only realness of him that remains.

For every shiver her grasp tightens
Wanting him to be right there
But he left her to drown in silence
To ponder if he still cared.

Closed off even more each day
The only thing holding her here is his scent
And the unknown answer to her question
What does his silence represent?

There was a definate sense of honesty here.  If it's written from experience then my heart goes out to you, I'm sure a lot of people have been in this predicament and I'm sure a lot of people wish they could explain it with such sophistication and grace; and if it's written from the imagination then I commend you for the vivid feelings created.
This is an excellent read.

This is a pretty good poem.  I think you did a reasonably good job with the rhyme scheme, for the most part.  

The only thing that disappointed me... you never described the scent?  That kind of left me in the dark.

Just an aside... good poem nonetheless.
