noxious idolatry

how beautiful she is
plucked between nicotine riddled fingernails
under a dying yellow light
only a slight shadow on the concrete beneath
so slight
so stunning
and oh how she makes me drool
at the curve
and the exhale
at the production of it all
at the smudged lipstick stains
she is all i have ever wanted
in this infinite moment
i am on a leash for her
tugging at it
until it burns my throat more than she
and i stand transfixed
watching helplessly as she falls apart
crumbled between teeth
and reduced to her core
until she's stomped on the ground
marched over
without the least bit of a thank you
fire in her eyes
no longer ablaze
and thus i am cold again
frigid in a dying night
staring at a lost love
reduced to ashes
oh how i love you
for so many unhealthy reasons
but all the same you are gorgeous
and i love you




A/N: i realized the other night, i would never say no to a cigarette
