ash
filling up my lungs
burning, crushing, screaming down my throat
encasing me in it’s smoky prison
devouring me with it’s gnashing teeth
the embers flaring inside me
burning, crushing, screaming in my heart
pulling me towards addiction
away from salvation
all it took was one drag
one pull
one smoke
and i’m trapped in a cage of nicotine
in a menthol prison
locked away
in ash
