True Love's First Kiss

First Puff. The second one’s for the soul
My obsession with kisses
Falls back to dropping some ashes
Stained with my red lip tint
I don’t settle for mint

They call it cancer break
I call it “smokes from a heartache”
You may see me differently with a stick
Smell me with the judgment of being a girl prick
I roll my eyes. I live for my own gig

If nicotine was on a cupcake
Diabetes would be my namesake
Red will never be my favorite color
But my Marls are red, a better appetizer
Lips don’t touch mine. That’s a sign

Lips to lips we kiss
Every day I crave, every hour I miss
I’m making a poem about my cigarette
Love it must be for Yvette
Don’t smoke if you don’t. 

Don’t judge coz’ you make no point.
