Cigarettes
She goes outside to smoke a cigarette
I go find coffee to be my fix
She’s trying to block the wind from her light
I suppress every reason I have to cry
Later she acts like everything is fine
In my mind we just had a fight
She broke another piece of me
It’s my fault though, because I mess up everything
I lay in the dark
Even though it used to be one of my biggest fears,
Because I need something to focus on to avoid tears
I drown out feelings with music from my playlist labeled “Healing”
But really it’s all stories of other people aching
She’s still outside
Losing interest with every breath
I swear she doesn’t care about me,
As much as her cigarettes
