Smoke Another Cigar

Smoke Another Cigar 
Under pressure 
Blue smoke, flair 
Dwelling on yesterday 
Dreadful memories 
Drink away your sorrows 
Ashes burning, secrets 
Recluse in the dark 
A dim light over shadows 
Abandoned self-worth 
Just growing old 
An unforgiving road 
Breathe in cigar smoke 
Let out the guilt 
Self indulge 
Rugged skin turns into leather 
Plant another tombstone 
Thoughts vanishing 
Eyes burning 
Life is overwhelming 
Smoke another cigar 
An old man's poem
