He sighs her sweet smoke
flicks the ash off,
smashing it against a table,
killing her fire.
He leaves her in the ashtray, he exits,
forever keeping her vulnerable.
Only half of her remains,
No one willing to take
someone else's used up cig.

He left her with about as much self worth as a half burnt Marbolo.
