Smoke
Smoke
You crept into my life like smoke under a crack at the bottom of a closed door
Knowing I wanted nothing to do with the likes of love, I continued to crave more
Mentally you seduced me with the thought of what we could be
Not prepared for what was to come, my first instinct was to run
Can you escape smoke once it has filled your lungs,
Even when it has come way too soon
I attempted to rationalize over and over again,
Wanted to place you in the spot designated friend
Wanted to just enjoy the pleasures of the flesh,
Because I would never again put a woman in a wedding dress
Wanted to pretend I did not care,
But you smoke began to become my air
I began to need you to breathe to function daily
I tried to leave
But you continued to call me baby
Grabbed my things and attempted to run,
But you my dear were in my lungs
Passion filled night, lovely days, the commonness of our trivial ways
You have penetrated me deep within,
So much more than a mere friend
An extension of who I am and what I want to be
Smoke I got to have you inside of me
