I find the smell of cigarette smoke relaxing

Not campfire smoke

Cigarette

My grandmother smoked my entire childhood

I could find a pack in almost every room

I felt safe with her

And safe with the smell


And then I met you

Someone who made me feel as safe as her

And I fell for you

You smoke the same pack that she did

Perhaps that's why I felt safe with you so quickly


I lost you

I broke into pieces when I lost you

And i’m sealing the cracks with 

Cigarette smoke
