my eyes are drenched with the oceans tears, vast and never ending. my throat is choked in a bile of desperate words that want to be free. my wrists burning in this warming sensation, that I want to cut out. my lungs filled with the reminiscing smoke that was your words, laughter and smile. It's given me cancer. The cigarette **** that I kept consuming even though everyone told me to quit. I tired too, I'm still trying but then I keep crawling back to this needle and inject my veins with a distraction. I feel warm, and I'm breathing normally, but then it settles in, I'm empty, needing to calm myself down with the sound of your voice that I can't hear.

Nicotine.
my eyes are drenched with the oceans tears, vast and never ending. my throat is choked in a bile of desperate words that want to be free. my wrists burning in this warming sensation, that I want to cut out. my lungs filled with the reminiscing smoke that was your words, laughter and smile. It's given me cancer. The cigarette **** that I kept consuming even though everyone told me to quit. I tired too, I'm still trying but then I keep crawling back to this needle and inject my veins with a distraction. I feel warm, and I'm breathing normally, but then it settles in, I'm empty, needing to calm myself down with the sound of your voice that I can't hear.
