a smoker's love letter

Plagiarism is stealing, so please don't steal my words. Reviews and thoughts always welcome.

Cigarette, 

You are the calm after the storm 

The quiet after a rock song

The halting of thought and emotion

Negativity blown off in smoke. 

When I smell you, 

Hold you, 

Set fire to you, 

When I wrap my lips around you, 

When it's just me, with you, 

Against the world - 

The world that so despises you. 

You're unhealthy for me

You smell bad

You make me look bad 

And make everyone else 

Feel bad 

And I'm way too young to be hooked on you.

Just like Romeo was unhealthy for Juliet 

And the Capulets couldn't stand a whiff of the Montagues

And how Juliet was only thirteen, 

Way too young to be hooked on to Romeo. 

Well, they did end badly, 

Among scattered ashes of hope, 

Yet keeping their...co-dependancy forever anew,

And so maybe when you burn out someday

Dear Cigarette, 

I might have to burn out with you.
