Ode to someone important

I once was your candy,
Sweet supple scents invited you-
Savoring every Ecstasy puff.

Nicorette cigarettes, the sweetest poison
Which now, you float
Immune to me.

Always, your name will flicker stars
You were necessity
Like the hero in a cartoon.

Your smoke, your sugar drop
Has a heart, a core
Which, in retrospect, is never seen.

Gingerly, is me, a woman who strolls
Depression triumphed over her purpose
Replaced by a sensual drug.

I was the poem that never got published,
The cigarette you covered with filth
A memory devoured.

This is an animate ode,
A tear I wanted to shed,
It evaporated.
