Burnout

  • Dedicated to a cat and a lion
                                    

A little flame

A cigarette

Yourself to blame

But no regrets

A broken heart

A secret drawer

All pulled apart

All on the floor

A slitted wrist

A bottle cap

A bloody fist

A cigarette

A wingless bird

A hunter's trap

Another word

A bottle cap

A silver line

I could forget

A minus sign

A cigarette

A reckless kiss

An old cassette

A cigarette

A cigarette

A slitted wrist

A leech prefered

The chance I missed

The colours blurred

A fishing net

A hopeless debt

One last regret

A cigarette

A lonely soul

A cigarette

But why make me your cigarette?
