Smoke Rings

Smoke rings in the dark
Leading us towards the light
Telling everyone the story
That happened that dreaded night

Who knew what you were
Other than a lost soul
Lead to carry on
Just to make another hole

So close now
To the end of punishment
But one false step
And it’s back to your imprisonment

You yearn for the sugar
That used to fill your veins
Knowing full well
It doesn’t fix the stains

Your history caused this moment
You let your pain consume
If you go back now
It will lead you to your doom.

Is it worth it
To sacrifice all you have
One more worthless fix
To make your body laugh

The pain that you feel
Will go away over time
For every time I’ve heard that
I wish I had a dime

It’s been six long years
And I still crave everyday
Knowing its just another battle
That ill have to fight today

My will has been tested
And my fears endured
Why is it still here
Why can’t I be cured

That syringe is tempting
But I know how it makes me feel
Numb and dead inside
Like a broken seal

I beat it all once
When I opened up my heart
But she killed me too
As silent as a dart

I’m sorry for the pain
I may have caused anyone
For when the smoke subsides
I know that I am done
