I am nothing more then commercialized Voodoo.
You, can't seem to put me down can you?
Holding me can make you feel the rush of the pump, your heart needs to withstand the company your in, or maybe just to distract the pain from being in my reality.
Just take a drag of me and ill make it all go away.
i promise.
But it's going to cost you. About $30 a week, thats $360 a year, not including the cost you're paying to yourself, thats the most, you see.  
Maybe if you just pull me in and ignite my coil with this built in fire, I now know… you were a liar.
I let you kiss my lips, I allowed you to expand my lungs like a japanese puffer fish, I, never knew how addicted I was until I set you down for longer then a 48 hour.
I hate losing things, umbrellas and addiction, both gave me shelter.
While you drag me, drink your breathe in sips. Inhale molecules, I'm treasuring the taste of your tremor.
I shake and exhale, nothing.
every drag is killing me, soft and slowly like the fugees on repeat,
Freeze firmly between fingers stained by the soot we sowed together, signs of life course through me, yet you wind me down and winged me.
Sate, and then escape me, for you I live through you, no more.
This cloud can no longer cling to my judgment. I left a trail.
This trail I paved for a much stronger version of me to overcome this troy scene.
Vape, meaning a Vicious, Addiction, Prolonging Health Effects, V.A.P.E.
Maybe the FDA's way to secretly manipulate us to become that hamster on the wheel,
Can you hear it? Thats my lungs cracking. My heart racing but not to take 1st place.
I lost 3 years, last place to me, but 1st place to the CEO I gave part of my life too.
I quit. I quit believing that I need this. I handcuffed the mod, while I shackled the urge to puff again.
I will celebrate this with my new VAPE. Victory. Around. People. Everywhere. That I overcame this.
while i set her down for the last time, it spoke to me,
"i cannot help you, i cannot save you, i cannot grant you a wish, i am only temporary. i make you feel good for about 15-20 mins, and then i leave you with the same emotions you had before i came, because i know you will come crawling right back to me, how desperate can you be, i hit you and quit you every time you smoke me, you've made me into your master and willingly became my slave. the definition lies in the nicotine in your mouth every time you kiss me, can't you see, we care not made for each other, lovers of me, may not all die from lung disease but they will all, suffocate on deception."
