Cigarette

I smoke another unwanted
cigarette
I quit, remember, I'm taking
Chantix
I just want to forget
the pain
the hate
the mental abuse
the physical abuse
the betrayal
they all betrayed me
It is all still so real
surreal
I dream dreams that make
me hate
I don't wish to feel 
complicated
I want to feel
sedated
I can't, I have to be real
I have no choice but to
feel
this pain in my heart
another day to get
through
so much to do
to forget
I smoke another unwanted
cigarette
