I Smoke To Die

by BlueEyedMystery   Jan 6, 2009


The smoke from the candle was too thick to inhale.
So I gagged on the Love You that turned the air stale.
The rain drops were throbbing, making me shake.
A feeling so overwhelming.. I was just a big mistake.

Contemplated sticking my hand in the toaster..
just to feel that wonderful burn..
I guess some things just can't be taught..
And I was never the type that was willing to learn.
You called me an angel but, stupid boy..
Angels can fly and they spread joy.
I can't do either.. but I never told..
I wanted to be your angel, the one you would hold.

Scratches on my arm, so dramatic against my skin.
The bottle of Vodka is empty, guess I win again.
Cigarette ashes and our final good-bye.
Most people smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.

Inspired by the book Looking For Alaska.

    I really like this. I like I'm sure most others on here can relate to this very much. It was strong, and very well written. I did feel that some of the lines we forced, but over all it was an excellent poem. Great job hun.
