breathe

                         my cigarette starts to burn out

paralleling my life

   a hole in the shoe of whoever its dropped on

                      the smoke starts to fill

              my insides

                      intoxicating at first

until you want to gag.

                   your addiction?

           useless.

                       it only leads to the end.

  light up another

                 thinking maybe it will be stronger

this time

                     leading to yet

                                  another

                     smashed

                                 filter

                                   on the pavement

of your soul.

This is very dark and intense. I definitely got a visual while reading this piece.
