Past the Tip of Your Cigarette

Admiring the world

Past the tip of your cigarette,

Watching the embers burn

With memories of regret.

Holding deep inside

Your sorrow and your sadness,

Carrying with you everywhere

The gouging pain and madness

Of this life.

Taking every day

As each one of them comes,

Running head on

Into each and every one.

Grasping at the hope

That mocks you from afar,

Clutching to the feelings

That hold you down like tar

To this earth.
