Lonely Cigarette

Lonely Cigarette I sat smoking my lonely cigarette; Sat recalling the sublime memories we had. We had splendid times; bittersweet emotions lingered within your silhouette. You were tender to me and I grew fond and clad. Your serendipity overtook me. A vast ocean lies between us; the Atlantic. Your soul is beautiful; young and bright; wild and free. Mine is troubled. Lonesome. Ever so frantic. Take your aim. Shoot. And slay my demons. The cigarette I consume draws insidious smoke. Unsure, I am, if my eyes tear from burning fumes or from sorrow’s lens. Dance. Float. Melt. In your seduction make me soak. Reassure me that you will never leave; never say goodbye. Sway me nightly and sing me sweet love’s lullaby.
