Analysis of cigarette kiss
as smoke comes from
your mouth and lips
i taste the nicotine
that makes me sick
the smoke
exhaled
from your tasteless lips
cigarette tastes
like a kiss
those are the things that I'll miss
they are the parts i wont forget
but looking at our past
i realize i have one regret
several sleepless nights
spent writing on the walls
i wish you were here
to sit and read it all
with paper cuts sliced
on my wrists
just so i can fit
with all the emo kids
I'm sorry for the things i regret
but to live without any
is to be lost in a world of greed
every ones lost but thinks they're not
ill be the first to say
we're all dying in this friendly curse
