I'm aching for your taste against my bottom lip
I'm reaching for your warmth between my fingertips
I'm dying to inhale your harsh breath
I inject my stress into you at two in the morning
You morph it into a light gray cloud
and I watch as the sky dissolves it
"Nothing to lose"
The most dangerous line I ever said
The first time I bit the filter
I bit the bullet

Cigarette,
You had me the first time you melted my headache
Into a light & pleasant dizziness that billowed out over the concrete
On my back porch

Cigarette,
I feel your hands tightening their grip over my lungs
I feel you swallowing the air inside of my chest

Cigarette,
I feel you all around me
& I resent you
I resent you now
But I'll come crawling back
Back for more
