it's been awhile and i

cannot seem to let you go

even if i wanted to

you linger in the periphery of my mind

like the aftertaste of poisonous smoke

on which i stupidly seem to choke

how can i be addicted to something so cruel?

it's on the edge of self harming

but darling, you're just so charming

and it's been awhile and i

cannot seem to let you go

even if i wanted to
