inhale
plumes of smoke / lungs burn / cough lingers in your throat / regret lingers on your tongue / one more hit of the blunt / one step closer / one step closer to the past / one step forward / two steps backwards / another hit of the blunt / hits her that he's gone / another hit / a memory hits her / his hands are on her waist / his lips grace her forehead / and she swore the gods just let out a breath of air / just as she does after another hit / he's back / the gods whisper to her / you finally get the love you deserve / all i've ever wanted is that for you / another hit / for she lost everything / two hits in a row / her eyes red / red as the blood that seeps out of her heart / slowly but captivatingly / the hurt is everlasting / almost as if it wants her to remember what she's lost / how do you compete with your own heart / why you cannot the gods whisper to her / another hit / he is walking towards her / and she decides / there is no worse high than the one of heartbreak / the blunt falls to the ground / and she steps on it
exhale
