Do you happen to have
|
|
A cigarette I could bum?
|
|
Just to hold in my hand
|
|
To help reminisce some
|
|
|
|
To bring me back to a time
|
|
When I had it all together
|
|
And the worst of my worries
|
|
Was exploring Minecraft's Nether.
|
|
|
|
In fact, could I please
|
|
Borrow your lighter as well?
|
|
I won't actually smoke it;
|
|
I promise to not inhale.
|
|
|
|
Just the act of smoking
|
|
Puts my mind at ease
|
|
And places it in Bear Creek
|
|
Enjoying the summer's breeze.
|
|
|
|
But I've come this far already,
|
|
So I think I'll take just a puff
|
|
With one good hit of nicotine
|
|
I'm sure I'll find to be enough.
|
|
|
|
I'll savor its flavor
|
|
Of late-night party favors
|
|
And quick, justified breaks
|
|
Between writing papers.
|
|
|
|
And just like back then,
|
|
It seems I still need a Savior
|
|
And a few more cigarettes
|
|
Before I break this bad behavior.
