damp streets and slush clogged corners
smoke trapped within grimy window panes
a cold bus stop; sitting all alone
kept warm by a half lit cigarette
are you thinking of me?
a voice that tends to linger
always on my mind in lonely moments
time ticking onward; silent death gong
patience is a virtue often wasted
hold onto that thought
can't seem to pick up the slack
afraid of the shadow biting my heels
flickering lamp light; my last friend
these wonders keep me going
did you look at the stars with me?
a dry throat makes for a dry cough
in windless winter weather nights
full of cold dreams; empty promises
with a half lit cigarette
half the nicotine
twice the hope
i'm thinking of you too

When I first started smoking I really hated it when I only lit my cigarettes half way, because then the little fuckers 'canoe' and it's awkward to ash and you only get half the smoke and kwnekjnearjn it was irritating.
But then my mother told me some people believe that when you light your cigarette half way, someone you love is thinking about you. It didn't happen to me all that often back then, but a little more recently... it seems to happen a lot. Maybe I'm just half-assing my lighting jobs, but I'd like to think it's because a certain someone has me on their mind. ps. i wrote this while waiting for the bus, smoking a half lit cigarette. can you tell?? 8D pps. stupid fucking dA took this from poetry > journal poetry and dumped it right into my scraps. i wrote it in my journal, so it should go under that category. why the fuck would they go through the trouble of making that a selection if it's not actually a category and it just goes to scraps?! that's RETARDED. >| ppps. i fixed some things. tada? |
