Sleeping Alone With Cigaritte Smoke

A tiny wall with four walls and a weak smile which finds me. I watch romantic movies pretending that someone may sit beside me. A young flower which would add a fire to my cold life.. The type of princess you marry while she becomes a queen overnight.. And when I would wake I would find her holding me tight. As if she never wanted morning to come and forever for it to become night. Yet such hopes for me are a lie. As I watch movies on a cold November night. Pretending the tv dinner was the greatest gift alive.
