Cigarettes

Coffee cups lay,

 

near the ashtray,

 

blooming with cigarette butts.

 

She cries because she fears.

 

Yet her salty bitter-sweet tears,

 

made her wish someone was near.

 

The smoke makes her eyes water more,

 

the burn in which she cannot ignore.

 

At least,

 

not anymore.

 

She swats away,

 

at the bills she cannot pay.

 

She breaks and gives up all her dreams,

 

but in real life,

 

by all means,

 

never pick up

 

that sharp kitchen knife. -Peacefulrock
