Whoever

Sometimes being in your presence

Reminds me of a simpler time

I long for you

Ache for you

And although

Mine are sincere laughs

Ones that echo

Residuals of pain remain

When I shut my eyes

So hard that they wrinkle

And think of you

I am emotionally speechless

Every “the end” reminds me of you

Give me a cigarette

So I can hold it between my teeth

And taste you

Let me watch you make Os of smoke

And land them on my head

My halo of destruction
