nicotine

  
the death of polluted  
phases of the moon  
saw you weep  
   
I wore a nicotine halo    
stained my pale lips blue  
while you watched on fooled  
by my midnight sun  
   
I captured your tears  
inside a whiskey bottle  
got drunk off the pain  
peeing in an alley at dawn  
it smelled of regret  
   
summer saw an end    
of smiles in your skies  
where my love light shone  
   
in red neon  
disaster was spelled  
a strobe light of warning blared  
   
still, you came closer  
smothering me with the shame  
of a lover cold to the touch  
   
spiked heels pierced your heart  
as they walked out of your life  
without even a casual look back
