Strawberry Cigarette

If it was true the promises you made me all the love is faded the promises you made the ring you gave me the "I love you forever" was just a lie now I blow out that smoke from the cigarettes, you used to carry You complained how bitter it tasted But you loved how better she tasted I gotta forget you you were just some painful memory but what am I without you Stronger Better Tougher Now I inhale and exhale that bitter cigarette has turned into a bittersweet memory oh dear sweet strawberry cigarette

The poem is creative and fun to read. Although I cant imagine a guy complaining about the cigarette's taste, you just have to change the brand. Regardless it is a cute excuse to write good a verse.

This was inspired by a past relationship of mine, how things seemed tough but it got better, and learned how tough and independent I am. So if you're going through similar issues, you too are strong and Independent. you're a brilliant person.
