i’ve got ghosts curling out of my mouth and they’re dancing with my cigarette smoke they’re pressing their vacant mouths to the nicotine lips wispy entrails of fog intertwine with the skeletal hands of my past selves i feel like i’m intruding on an intimacy not meant for my eyes like i’m witnessing the kind of love i’ve never known but it’s desperate and needy and grabby and it gets uglier the longer you look and what i thought was a love story looks more like horror what i thought was a tender touch was just the beginnings of a hand closing around a throat what i thought was a kiss was just the beginnings of a soul being ****** from the inside out but then suddenly i’m smoking a cigarette filter and it seems the story is over.

nicotine daydream
i’ve got ghosts curling out of my mouth and they’re dancing with my cigarette smoke they’re pressing their vacant mouths to the nicotine lips wispy entrails of fog intertwine with the skeletal hands of my past selves i feel like i’m intruding on an intimacy not meant for my eyes like i’m witnessing the kind of love i’ve never known but it’s desperate and needy and grabby and it gets uglier the longer you look and what i thought was a love story looks more like horror what i thought was a tender touch was just the beginnings of a hand closing around a throat what i thought was a kiss was just the beginnings of a soul being ****** from the inside out but then suddenly i’m smoking a cigarette filter and it seems the story is over.
