"For Lexi"
A poem requested by my friend Lexi :)
-
Her mouth opened and out came cigarette clouds of grey
But in her eyes she saw the galaxy swirling in the morning air
Nicotine glazed eyes found the constellations
And formed diamonds into stars
-
In her haze she could feel him in her veins, her lungs,
Consuming every thought in her head
His hands ghosting over her body and trailing along her spine
Her hip bones covered in delicate kisses and whispered confessions
As they tried to recreate love with no words
Only low grunts and soft moans
But now he was only a figment of a drug induced dream
-
When she blinks she frowns because the clouds above her begin to drift away
And the stars that used to shine when he smiled were no longer bright
The galaxy seemed dull and lacking the beauty it once held when in her cigarette smoke
-
She sat there with a burning stick between her lips
Contemplating nicotine suicide while inhaling her poorly made decisions
Because he never loved the way her hair fell down her back
Nor the way her laugh filled the air with joy
Yet she always found the constellations in his eyes
And the smooth tones of his voice
Because it wasn't a cigarette or a blunt rolled in the passanger seat that made her head swim
It was his lips that caused her to see colors behind closed eyelids.
