I remember our first kiss
The taste of wine on your lips
The sweet goodbyes in the mist
The stain of lipstick in the winds

I remember our first dance
The slow swaying of the hips
The soft sigh of utter bliss
The lullabies that we miss

I remember our first day
The small stumbles and the trips
The squeals of laughter in the ships
The secret wishes on the wisps

I remember my first tear
The look of love on your face
The new emptiness in the space
The priest's last words and final grace

You're just another cigarette in a packet,
Another ounce of poison that captivates
The senses and destroys me from the inside,
I taste you on my lips,
Another heavy drag,
Inhaling the sickening smoke
And exhaling the ghost of you,
You line my soul with tar,
Block the lungs and you choke me,
Suffocating,
Yet I still desire your touch,
Killing me softly.

To what do I owe this pleasure,
Of sleeping in a warm bed,
No hassle, no malice, no stress,
Just a place to rest my head.
