Cigarette Break at Twilight
7:31pm
i try to explain chakras & bindis (but)
you are busy flipping off God again
7:34 pm
i lose track of the reasons you give
and all my good intentions for being here
7:36 pm
instead i scribble smiley faces on your
Camel Turkish Golds (and christen each stick Nicci).
7:38pm
i admit i am childish & give Nicci back
but I regain possession of your lips on me
7:41 pm
on your skin my kisses become prayers
of all the things i wish I could say (like)
7:45 pm
the times i've kissed your forehead
i was just trying to save your soul.
