Nicotine

Last night,
You spoke of cigarettes.

And I fell in love
With your ingenuous self-destruction;

The fifteen-year-old you that now exists
In tar-stained words

Spray-painted provocatively onto a sleep-deprived corner of
The walls of my brain - your words are graffiti;

...

Their beauty makes me restless.

Damn i like the way you move them tongues inside you. I like your words.

I hate them. Everything is contrived and obvious.

Everything is. The very thought of putting it all on paper and you've lost some bits of it.

I still like your words. A lot. I like how they make me feel when i read them.
