Cigarette

i put you to my lips like i want to kiss you, 
your smoke fills my mouth with ease, 
like i had longed for a smoke filled mouth, 
with every pull you make me feel happy, 
you fit between my fingers without feel, 
like a feather to die in a smoke, 
you die with every pull and take seconds away from my life, 
you kill me silently while you commit to death secretly, 
you live as long as i don't kiss you, 
you disappear in a smoke and take few minutes from my life, 
i wonder if you deserved the attention? , 
are you an excuse for the tension? , 
my end would come eventually, 
i would kiss no more eventually, 
meaningless words which don't matter eventually, 
for i am and remain a smoker candidly.
