Dear Cigarette
Dear Cigarette,
I am writing you this letter to let you know it’s over between us
You lead me to believe you were safe and in you I could trust.
My first clue should have been when we had to hide to meet.
Behind buildings and bushes we had to be oh so discreet.
I have to admit I really didn’t like you that much at first
But I grew to love you not knowing you would be my curse
I know this break up will be harder on me than it will be on you
Because I know you will find another willing to be your fool
I ask God to give me strength to put you away and never look back
And look forward to the day when I wake up without the morning hack
You have had me long enough more than half of my life
So Cigarette this is it good riddance, so long and good bye!
