Through the Smoke

you take a smoke, 

you take a drag

your lips are coiled around that damned cigarette 

and it's driving me mad

the smell of ash, 

it reeks on your flesh

if i didn't know any better i'd say 

you'd just walked away from an unexplainable crash

there's black soot on your face 

and although my head is pounding 

and my heart is stirring 

my eyes can't register you as anything more than a cowardly disgrace

so what if your eyes are blue

i don't care if your hair is blonde

your pink lips mean nothing to me

through the smoke all i see is someone i used to know 

when the number of people i loved wasn't  so few
