another flaming tragedy
stoked in the relentless gale
packs and packs of cigarettes
incinerated in a second
your bloodshot eyes wide open
burning all the same
lost lighters and misplaced dollars
mean nothing anymore
you are now addicted
as they do so say
to your own demise
your inevitable undoing
drowning in your guilt
and burning in your passion
another tragic soul lost
to life in excess and
over expectation
