light your cigarette again i'll try to breathe toxic air like im the one addicted. i found myself in the flicker of your lighter, only warm when your fingers were on me i used to be forest fires volcanoes heat waves now i am the dying ember in your ash bowl. forgive me for wanting to feel your lips against my skin ice melts in the presence of heat, and you could never be less then me. cigarette breaks are temporary but the black in your lung is permanent. you lit me with the intentions of putting me out but I promise my flame will kindle every time you try to exhale me out
