She looked so beautiful in white,
The smell of her skin was my only addiction,
Craved for her day and night,
And then she became my never ending obsession,
I felt fire each time my lips touched her,
By absorbing her fragrance so deep into my spirit,
She made my mind go high and my vision go blur,
Making me forget all the worldly worries that once used to hit,
Rolled up in toxic,
She kept destroying me every time I loved her,
With damaged lungs and body so sick,
I kept looking for peace in her,
I wanted to leave her but it was too late,
Giving out the smoke of death,
'She' was just a cigarette,
Who finally ruined me while I was trying to escape its wrath.
