Missed Answer, Wounded Question

 

 

There was a brief moment

In our past

When you presented the question

'Why do you smoke?'

     why do you kill yourself slowly?

And I smiled because

A second later your phone beeped

The dependable text message

To take the cares of reality

Concerning myself and you

Away from the forefront of thought

So I took my step away

Saving you from truth

Saving me from the pain

Of being instantly dismissed

Opened the window I never tried to break

And took another inhale

Letting out that smooth taste

Whispering to the stars

'You never heard me scream'

And stared into the light

Of the only true mother

That ever noticed I was dying

As you played another part
