The Last of the Last
If this was the last- sip of booze that I tasted
Perhaps, before bedtime I'd not be wasted
If this was the last- cigarette I inhaled
I'd say I did well, so many times I've failed
If this was the last- of the words that I cuss
My conversations would linger, there would be more to discuss
If this was the last- of the demons, I faced
I'd finally not fear all the ones that I've chased
If this was the last- of my lasts by far
I'd never again say...
"I left my damn cigarettes at the bar"
