Smoking Kills

Smoking Kills

It started as a one time thing
After that, it would be over
But you called my name so sweetly
You made my mouth water at the thought of you
One more time wouldn’t hurt
Just one last time
Then it would be really over
Never again
“It’s bad for you”
You called again
I was strong until I caught your scent
I was hooked on you
Every morning and every night
Your smell burned my nostrils as I inhaled you
But I loved it
After many long years
I was always following you orders
You controlled me 
And everything I did and when I did it
Finally, I broke it off with you
I was completely over you
Until I saw you again, and was immediately hooked again
You are going to be the death of me
Mama always said smoking kills
Never knew you were my cigarette
