Cigarette

by @johanna-magdalena

You are standing in the alley Smoking a cigarette You hear my voice but you can´t hear me I smell the alcohol on your breath Your arm is reaching for my waist Your kiss has that bitter aftertaste Your blurry vision slowly has me erased I leave you feeling like life is going to waste I don´t think you changed, I just think I closed my eyes Holding on to hope as I watched the smoke rise Just love isn't enough for me anymore I can't be your freedom and your cure You are standing in the alley Smoking a cigarette You can drown your sorrows, but I can't drown my feelings You pour alcohol down your throat until it stings You hear my voice but you can´t hear me say goodbye You drank all the alcohol money could buy Your blurry vision slowly has me erased As I'm walking away from what you chose to embrace I don´t think you changed, I just think I closed my eyes and I know it was real cause you regretted all your lies Just love isn't enough for me anymore Your cigarette burns out and drops to the floor
