I take another match, make it spark
Nurture flame just born, and dying
Just enough, to breathe life
into this cigarette between my fingers
With the first puff, the cinder lights up
Flicker, your radiance defies the darkness
Even for a moment, then as ashes you fade
The smoke you breathe into me, I give back
As if a portrait of my soul
passing through my fingers
Taking apart this mortal frame
With every breath
My soul is exhumed
As another cloud is engulfed by the darkness
Still I take another puff
Sweet, Bitter, yet soothing
And as your flicker
Shall soon turn into ash
So soon shall I,
Meet the same fate
But now I shall burn brightly in the darkness
And let my essence linger on
Till I fade
We’re no different then
