Three cigarettes today
That must be a record
For myself at least
One
To wake me up this morning
Two
To take away from the waiting
And three
Because thinking is the cruelest thing a person can do to themselves
Number three is what saved me
But I can’t forget about one and two

Number three came after a peculiar encounter
With a ******* her number three
I could just tell
Even if I didn’t know why
She was on her third
I knew it was for an important reason

Of all things, I am a sucker for a red lip
Especially when on a stranger
It makes me think, what are they thinking
And
Who is their perfect red lip for
But ill just be selfish and believe it’s for me
As I glance at their red lip from afar

Of all things, I am a sucker for a red lip
Especially when on a friend
That I hardly know
I still wonder who that red lip is for
And with my hello
I’ll still wish someone would wear a red lip for me
