Cigarette Break #2

With a flip of a switch, you’re set on fire

All day I’ve had this one desire.

Although I know you will slowly take my breath away

Until my very last day;

I can’t give you up like so many have before.

Every single time, is the same as the first.

It’s a sweet addiction and I swear I am cursed

Or jaded and broken; you fill the void.

Of I’m not sure what, I’m so annoyed.

After every deep breath I still want more.

I want nothing more than to step on your soul,

But I am the one who will pay the toll.

My life, my pocket, you will suck me dry

And if you are in my hand, I know I will die.

You have no regrets; you’re just a cold-hearted whore.

In my mind, I think I can make this work.

With or without you, my heart will torque

In your direction or away.

I can only hope this longing will fade.

I won’t believe you have infected my core.

My friends will say you don’t deserve a single brush of my lips,

But I know it’s a matter of time before I slip.

The moments I miss you are filled with ups and downs

And at the end of the day I go round and round

Until its just you and me sitting on the floor.

I promise I won’t forget the effect you have on me

All the good and the bad is not hard to see.

But a final good bye will make it complete

Until tomorrow when your back at my feet.

I can’t give you up like so many before.
