Smoke

I recall a time when I knew

    what it meant to breathe

natural inhale,  exhale of life

scented with the essence of posies,

then your smoke clouded my world

constricting/blackening/poisoning

my heart collapsed as if by nicotine

why is there no patch for love

This is just aching in nostalgia, your emphasis on "natural inhale" highlights to us that there are unnatural breaths for you too. Addiction can be mended, unfortunately even time cannot fully heal a wounded heart.. This is so powerful Frieda. So beautiful.. Well done

Always happy if one is left to ponder, thanks Mauricio.
