nicotine
I sit with fucking nicotine burning between my lips,
the taste is disgusting but so satisfying at the same time.
It fills me with disgust,
and relief.
I want to die when I don't have it,
and would do anything for it.
It is my weakness,
and controls me all the time.
All I can think about is the cancer that is going to form within me,
and the pain it will bring.
I still put that fucking shit between my lips,
hoping someone would notice me.
I sit and contemplate,
is it worth it?
Yes.
Nobody wants to be with me except sweet nicotine.
I wonder what would my life be like without it,
without the shit we call nicotine.
