You are the breath in my lungs And I'm smoking Smoking harmful chemicals Trying to flush you out Smoking nicotine Smoking THC Smoking anything I am now Inhaling C A N C E R and now smoke comes out of my mouth more than words . . . .

You are the nightmares at night I silently scream and wake up crying I frantically search my bed for you Almost physically feeling you leave You H A U N T me But I can't live without it For now my imagination is enough Enough to believe you haven't abandoned me Like my mother has . . . . I don't believe you know That you Are my L I F E L I N E I do not believe that you know such things You told me to depend on you And that you'd protect me . . . . I'm desperate. So I'll believe you I'm desperate. So I'll take your spoon fed assurances I'm desperate So yet I ' L L L O V E. Y O U another day
