nicotine

[brisk musk]

i used to hate smoking until college, even then i still wasn’t a big fan. it wasn’t until i met my ex that nicotine became an almost daily part of my life. one of our fond memories would be whenever i took too many hits from his vape, and i’d get a buzz. i’d say “nic buzz!” and he’d catch me in his arms cause i’d need the support from my body feeling weak. this is for those brief moments

i inhaled your love
exhaled it into promise rings
we fell from above
the skin you kissed still stings

i never enjoyed smoking
it made me sink into your space
that was what’s addicting
the warmth of your embrace

to this day i keep my nicotine addiction
it’s the only connection we have
because our love now seems like fiction
my soul forever halved

my time of mourning is over
though i still have hope, yet again
i wish distance makes the heart grow fonder
but my love, until then

i’ll smoke

Hi! This is a well written poem! I enjoyed every last bit of it. Every verse has a delightful rhyme and tasty musicality. The poem was filled with a nostalgic grief of promised and unfullfiled love. A sense of never-ending waiting embraces the verses. Love it !
