Cigarettes and friends have so much in common Friends are cigarettes to skin The longer you hold them temptation grows within To smoke or watch others choke Cancer sticks, worse when ignited So many people smoke and are delighted To inhale the words of warning Strangers are sticks and stones their words never hurt With friends, this expression disappears As if the pain doesn't accumulate every fiscal year Running deep into your lungs, skin, and even the heart Friends can do as much as a cigarette We smoke our friends as if nothing is wrong and forget Until our lungs and heart collapse and fill up with regretΒ Β Quit cold turkey, suffer relapses try again later Anything to soak up this toxic flavor Friends or cigarettes? Your choice of flavor to savor
