I watch as the already exhaled smoke floats in front of me Dancing decievingly Convincing me it isn't leaving. Unfortunately I've convinced myself the same The smoke fades nearly unnoticed See, I'm not a fool & I'm far too observant not to notice Although not foolish, I foolishly believe the smoke will stay And as the smoke drifts about I notice my own pattern... I always convince myself that when its practically impossible, something or someone will stay. Just like this cigarette, this pattern is killing me. slowly The smoke finally disappears into the crisp air This time I sigh in relief

The Thoughts of a Chain Smoker
I watch as the already exhaled smoke floats in front of me Dancing decievingly Convincing me it isn't leaving. Unfortunately I've convinced myself the same The smoke fades nearly unnoticed See, I'm not a fool & I'm far too observant not to notice Although not foolish, I foolishly believe the smoke will stay And as the smoke drifts about I notice my own pattern... I always convince myself that when its practically impossible, something or someone will stay. Just like this cigarette, this pattern is killing me. slowly The smoke finally disappears into the crisp air This time I sigh in relief
