why did i let cigarettes become so insignificant?
a craving for smoke in my lungs
sitting on the steps taking breaths closer to death
life never rings true to me
if i die then i will let the earth take me in

everyday since i first met you
i've felt effortless
my chest expanded to feel love
so whenever i start to miss you
i put tar in my lungs
or sometimes i'll get drunk
no matter what there's always poems
or half-thought-out feelings scratched in journals
i lose myself in toxic clouds
just hoping to wind up closer to you
