Lethal Love

She felt like she was coughing nails,
It was like being stuck in jail,
A jail she could not escape.
It brought her closer to death,
Being with the one she loved - It took her breath,
She wanted to get away from all the smoke,
But all she could do was stay and choke,
She told her mother to stop,
But her mother never listened.
Slowly,
the smoke that came from her mother’s cigarette overwhelmed her,
And soon all she saw was a blur.
Her mother tried so save her,
But it was too late,
She lived with a person that smoked - so this was her fate,
To die,
And all the mother could do was cry,
And regret.
