Single Puff

Wed, 07/19/2017 - 15:21 -- Rivzz

A single puff of air can mean so much my dear 

The light at the rear end almost poisonous I hear 

Self- indulgence, self- beloved, self- love for such a smear

The ashes on the floor a small sight of what's no longer near 

It circuates my blood and can do one of many things 

It keeps my body running, shutting down with daily spears

A single puff of air can mean so much my dear 

Objectified in sessions in boxes with aluminum, shining off  the devil's grin 

Slowly collapsing my whole being, gasping for small air 

A single puff of air can mean so much when the smoke's no longer there 

You've determined my whole life and the length of all my years 

Filled my lungs with lustful love slowly killing deep within 

Sweet air of human nature oh how much you mean to me
