Cigarette

by MoonMaiden   Nov 1, 2017


She lights another cigarette

As the smoke fades,
Her troubles go away..

Her heart starts racing,
Forgets everything she's currently facing.

Her oxygen slowly vanishes.
She still has all these plans.

She lights up another cigarette..
And the days go by..
As it kills her slowly.

    I quit smoking but I have a terrible habit of picking it up again whenever I’m extremely stressed... great way to describe it
