You are nicotine
Embedded under my nails
A coat of filth
Superglued under my tongue
A dance of fire
Coated in gasoline
Foam cannot distinguish you
A mystery to behold
Knowledge spanning centuries
Hitting rock bottom
Until you dug below the stone
You were my rock bottom
I never know how to say
Just what it is
Tongue-twisted
And poetry spewing
You were someone
I wasn't looking for
But found in the dead of night

You are nicotine
Embedded under my nails
A coat of filth
Superglued under my tongue
A dance of fire
Coated in gasoline
Foam cannot distinguish you
A mystery to behold
Knowledge spanning centuries
Hitting rock bottom
Until you dug below the stone
You were my rock bottom
I never know how to say
Just what it is
Tongue-twisted
And poetry spewing
You were someone
I wasn't looking for
But found in the dead of night
