You are so beautiful,
Delicate in every way,
From afar I saw your loveliness,
Scent to drive tears away,
Yet you are free and I must stay,
The sun I cannot chase,
Wind in my wings shall never be,
Only thorns beneath the smiling face,
Free I was until I saw you,
Roamed afar but nothing to compare,
For many a day I will stay,
Behold my perch is always near you,
But I must go one day,
Every slip of time a petal,
And can you say you will always love me,
When all has passed away?
We are only here a moment,
All winds and roads alike,
If we must away when days shall fail,
Yet still for you I will stay.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
