I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE
But I was deceived
The cigarette pulled a fast one
Right over me
I thought I couldn’t feel
Unless it was there
To smooth over the ripples
When I felt nobody cared
I thought it was my friend
And would always comfort me
It was gone with the last drag
All that was left….was me
I thought it made me stronger
To take care of everybody else
But in the end
I felt like the dust.... up on a shelf
I thought it was relaxing
Eased the tension, saved the day
If only …….no….,it prolonged it
No dilemmas went away
I thought I loved to smoke
I thought I could never be without
I thought I could never quit
( See we have lots on common…)
We just wanted out
It never changed a thing
Over any given situation
Although it gave an instant hug
Promising immediate gratification
I thought it would de-stress me
False courage with invitation…
Only it just magnified my weakness
Then I had a revelation…..
I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE
4 years -2 months ago
I’m glad I smartened up
And
Just ~ let ~ go
