The Cigarette

The Cigarette

Hold me between your fingers
Bring me to life and lighten me
I’m there when you’re angry
I’m there when you’re blue
I’m there when you’re stressed
I’m even there when you’re bored with nothing to do
Look at me
Admire me
You know you need me
You know you want me
With every inhale you make
Another breath of air I take
I know I soothe you
You’re so relaxed and calm
I know you feel satisfied
After craving me for so long
And when you’re through with me
You’ll toss me away
No hard feelings
You’ll come back, you’ll see
Even if it’s an hour, or the very next day
You can’t go a day without me
You’ll scramble for change just to buy me
You and I are like coffee and cream
I might even visit you in your next dream
