Cigarette
Lighter
set a fire
on the tip
Of my cigarette
Cigarette
fill me
with calm
I'll carry on
On & on
into a depth
of painful life
i employ this knife
Knife razor sharp
wont you expose
the river ever red
release my dread
Dread of the drear
lit dimly by dispair
ever depressive
I'm ever so nervous
Nervous I cannot function
useless in my ways
falling into a sea of regret
I really just need another cigarette.
Cigarette smoke curls
the calm hit afterward
the world seems quieter
only the sound of my lighter
set a fire
on the tip
Of my cigarette
Cigarette
fill me
with calm
I'll carry on
On & on
into a depth
of painful life
i employ this knife
Knife razor sharp
wont you expose
the river ever red
release my dread
Dread of the drear
lit dimly by dispair
ever depressive
I'm ever so nervous
Nervous I cannot function
useless in my ways
falling into a sea of regret
I really just need another cigarette.
Cigarette smoke curls
the calm hit afterward
the world seems quieter
only the sound of my lighter

Yes this one had a very dim mood to it. I don't, it's somewhat of a metaphor. Thank you very much for reading and leaving your thoughts, as always it is appreciated:) ~anonshadow
