Quitting

“Your love was like a cigarette,
addictive, yet bad for my health.”

Your love was like a cigarette, addictive, yet bad for my health. Every breath was filled with you and your drug flowed through my veins. But with each drag I took and still crave, you’re a habit I need to quit. With each exhalation, I’m abandoning the wreckage you left behind, letting it go. Because I’m better than that.

I’m better than that.

  1. Great minds and all that. My most recent had a smoking riff! Good stuff, as always. I actually read them instead of the click and run. But then I only follow a few worth reading, the fishing for friends thing…bah…Hang in there!
