Cigarette
May 17, 2014
Burn me like a cigarette;
The more you smoke, the faster you die
Burn me like a cigarette, so faster I may fade.
Put me in between your lips,
Where my name has been so much
Breathe out the smoke
So that I may not fill your lungs.
Watch the fire burn the paper,
The deeper you inhale the faster it goes
Make it last
Burn me away, today.
As you finish using me,
Feel the sting
The burn of my flame
As you get ready to throw me away.
Toss me on the ground
Like you did my feelings
Step on me and watch me die;
Then leave me the f**k alone.
