Cigarettes

Somewhere between our past and present tense
destructive feelings emerged to consume
Spinning a permanent web of silence
hope spiraled into her chrysalis tomb
Spider eyes waited for signs of defeat
trapped, nestled and wrestling under her dreams
Where soft muted lips unable to speak
kissed pseudo nightmares bleeding at the seams
The blood from one kiss created one less
The heart lent a crutch of patience and kind
But darkness spread far and caused deep distress
webs of insanity covered her mind
Somewhere beyond this before and after
cigarette smoke reignites my laughter
