The end of my cigarette seeping down like an inferno Burning slowing Blurry Filling my lungs with toxic self nourishment Trailing smoke in my lovers face Why is it so ******* pleasing to ruin ourselves? Why does it hurt so good? Maybe i'll find out once its all over Once I am locked inside my wooden cage, and topped with wet earth I'll patiently wait until then I'll finally fully understand how much time I had wasted running full speed to my final destination Death Who really loved me? Who truly didn't? The inferno of this cigarette is finally half gone Even more time wasted burying myself The other half of me is my brain Pickled in alcohol Riddled with regret Past, present, and future A woman in love with her sins and passion A victim of her own ideas and indiscretions Infatuated with torturing her very soul A beautiful mind, riddled with fear My body is slowly turning into ash Burning, and red hot Disgust wrapped in pretty paper To be burned, and thrown in a gutter
