Nicotine

Poem

By Spencer funkPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Living without

Sustenance to fill my inner self

Empty eye droppers

Filling lonely shelves

Cascading thru isles of bliss

And gold

I know

When I knew you before

I’ve felt this burst of energy

Rush right through smoke in my lungs

Matching with caffeine to burn and stain my tung

Destroying myself while I’m still young

The vapor of craving

Empty pods hallowed out on my floor

Addictive nature. What a struggle. A snake that wraps and sinks it’s fangs to your soul. Sucking your essence until you have no more. When righteousness is knocking do you chose to not answer your door? Will you pry this leech away? When pain sets in due to the lack of oder, will you want it then?
