You're Better Off Lighting Your Tongue On Fire

I dance on your tongue like cigarette smoke, I escape from your lips, but reside in your throat.You watch me vanish, but i'm still inside, I'll travel up your lungs & leave clouds in your eyes. My physical presence may be gone, but I'm stuck in your head like a favorite song.

I fill your room like cigarette smoke, I escape out the window, but I stain your clothes. I'm a constant reminder of your dependency, I'm that thing that you loathe- as well as the thing that you need. I'm an invisible companion- a parasite- I disappear into thin air, while I latch onto your mind.

I consume your brain like cigarette smoke, I'm killing you slowly while giving you hope, I perfume your life with a scent that reeks, I'll kiss your lips while I yellow your teeth.

Cigarette smoke- I never last, I'm a temporary escape that turns your veins to ash. Cigarette smoke- like your breath in December, I turn your eyes into burning embers, I turn your blood into nicotine, I shorten the amount of time you have to breathe.

Cigarette smoke- I'm what you desire
But you're better off lighting your tongue on fire.
