Cartons of empty packs scatter my bedroom floor.
Dirty coffee cups litter my tables.
Ashtray over flow like the killer words that spill from my lips.
I curse you while I tap ashes.
I snuff filters and scream empty threats to excite fear to enforce a following.
No one hears my voice.
I'm no where near the receptacle and half a cigarette is turned to ash.
I haven't moved and the cherry drops.
The ember catches the carpet.
I burn my own home.
