I.
Nicotine seems to replace air in my lungs.

II.
I have a mellow dramatic trying to reach me.

III.
He's armed with poetry and cruel words.

IV.
He also seems to think I don't notice he reeks of desperation

V.
And, he seems to think I care.

VI.
The one I love is too far away.

VII.
I need to bring him near.

VIII.
The scent of his skin won't leave my nostrils.

IX.
Depression is suffocating me,

X.
It knows I want it to stick around.

XI.
Depressions like leather. Dead but warm.

XII.
It feels like home.

XIII.
I don't ever want to go home.

XIV.
I'll turn 15 in less than a week.

XV.**
But yet I still won't have grown.
