Canada "Our inability to see the future except as a continuation of the present is the reason that we let our imagination b3 bpund by commonly accepted perception" / -Peter Glaser
I spent a long time telling myself that things are okay I spent a long time telling myself that things will be different when i get home I spent a long time telling myself that i would never go back I spent a long time telling myself that i need to be back where i was Ive spent so long telling myself things that i cant remember what was fact and what is simply how i got through that bad day Ive lost all sense that reality will set in again

An Eternity
A smoker quits for 2 and a half months After the months away She doesnt crave for a smoke Often she thinks If someone were to offer her one she wouldnt say no The offer arrives Just a puff A taste Its not enough She begs for the full cigarette After finishing it off The headrush comes The feeling of fullness Tic toc tic toc The high is gone The addiction sets in Its only been a moment But she wants another She wants to feel again She knows she has spent two months without But with only that one little touch That minute of bliss The hook is back All she can think about Is this feeling she is missing "Drop the addiction Be free" Her mind begs later she caves and asks "Can i just have one more" A cigarette is not nearly as addictive as you

This Isn't About Cigarettes
I cant look at myself My lips were the ones you kissed And every time that I put on lipstick I am reminded what hot passion tastes like I'm not sure I'll ever taste that again My eyes were the ones that you stared into as you told me you loved me The ones you said you could never stop staring into But you did My arms were the ones you carressed You said "I'm so glad that there are no tears in your skin" You kissed the scars that the nothingness had left behind I dont know if my arms will ever be whole again My hair That you pulled in passion and played with in boredom My feet That you touched and laughed how i hated that My hands That you held for the first time and told me you never wanted to let go My legs That you ran your hands down and said were beautiful My heart The one that you took into your hands And instead of protecting such a delicate thing You threw it on the floor and laughed
