Last Cigarette

Info

As I light this cigarette,

The last one you secretly slid into my pocket..

Its smoke, your memory, oh

It haunts me through;

Through my tongue, through my flesh,

As if it was part of your kiss,

I would never want to miss.


But it took me 8,469 hours to realize..

Why the only thing you left me

Is that one stick of your cigar,

Not about the taste, not about the scent;

But the nics I'll always crave for..

Oh, I'll always love the scar

Your last cigarette burned.


As I lay here with rusty tank near my head,

Hearing water drops instead of clock's ticking hand.

Guess this would be the last..

The last cigarette I'll light up.

This is my last cigarette

That would burn my heart.


Oh I'm dying,

I'm dying to light this cigarette up;

When I die oh, when I die..

At least I'll die with burning lungs

Instead of a broken heart.
