First Light of Disaster

Cars dashing back and forth
Passing only me and you
Your hand travels to your pocket
I see what you pull through.

Out comes a box
Not anything Ive ever seen
The cars croak loudly
I gasp at whats in between.

Twenty-four little sticks.
The cylinders of terror
Always threaten life as we know it
A mortals greatest error.

My eyes follow your hand
Grasping one by it's end
Your finger flicks the lighter
I watch the fums blend

You place two fingers
to hold it in place
your lips form a grin
as you examine my face

Your other hand dives into the box
grab another by it's end
Holding it out to me
Nothing my mother would recommend.

I hesitate; i fear so much.
My heart races into over drive
I tremble; i shake
Ive never felt so alive

My hand extends
i feel Ive lost control
My hand moves on it's own.
My fingers grasp it whole.

He flicks the lighter
Shines it to the end.
Feelings raise up inside me
None in which I'll ever comprehend.

i place the opposite side to my lips.
breathe in it all
inhale the fumes into my lungs
My eyelids fall

A feeling rages in side me
A feeling i cannot control
This thing has taking over
Swallowed me whole

What have i done
Mother don't look into my past
Because my first light of disaster
Wont be my last..
