Smoke Break

by c - Aquarius

Cold air
Cold concrete
Cold feeling
in my chest
Warth 
from my lighter
glowing red cigarette
soothes me
Ah, I am warm
I am calm
I am...
addicted
to this artificial
"high"
that no longer
has an effect
except...
to make me reach
for another.
Companionship
found in a box
with a glaring
label saying "no!"
and a refreshing
remembrance...
telling (screaming)
"yes!"
Inhale it.
Breath it.
Put it out.
Then reach for
another.
