My Friend

Flick, Snap
Flick, Snap

What is that?

Flick,
Snap

Oh,
My hand is moving

Flick, Snap

Heat on my hands
Light on my face

Flick, Snap

Irritating subconscious needs

Flick, Snap

So provocative
The hunger

Flick, Snap

But it's worse than hunger
Hunger can be ignored

Flick,

It like a thirst
A horrible burning thirst
If its not quenched
It leaves you
Shaking and hurting
Irritable,angry, and sad
MAD!
At yourself for letting it become you

Snap!

So you
Hold it with your lips
Steady it with your jaw
You're shaking

Flick

Gently this time
Let it coil around your tongue
Caress the inside of your throat
Flowing so smooth
down to your lungs
ah
finally, some peace

Snap

Where it sits
Only for a moment
Then expelled
Out of mouth and nose
a cool breeze of life
You're sinking
Arms swinging lightly
Head in the heavens
You hold his hand
Kiss him
Flirt with him
Take him in
Like a thief
He stole the safe
But left your wallet
by the bed

I want you to meet him
From a distance
My friend
No
My enemy
Something in between
We call him
Mr. Nicotene
