i painted my skies black 

in preparation for the funeral

for you i let my roses die

and along with them 

/

i wilted in the lack of love

your sugar water was poison

and it kept me addicted til 

//

i couldn’t take it anymore

i burst like an avalanche

aired my grievances in a bomb

///

and your gaseous lies

still linger in the walls

just like tobacco smoke

////

secondhand smoke won’t kill me

because you did it first

and yet still i stand

strong and mighty, a weeping willow
