Shadows of Smoke

“Songs of Somber”

I’ve been wondering if it was ever even there

It disappeared and made me sickly

The smell still lingers in the air

The smoke, it faded so quickly

The wisps of love tangling together just to dissolve away

I grabbed at it frantically, but I knew it wouldn’t stay

the particles hardly hang around my bed

But I can’t get you out of my head

Sometimes I feel, the only way for it to be gone

Is to fall asleep, and hope it’s dissipates by dawn

I don’t miss you, I miss the way you made me feel

But now that it’s gone, I’m not sure what was real

Maybe there never was much, so I take another toke

For now I’ll lay around, hating the shadows of smoke

Writing helps me analyze myself, seeing my feelings on paper helps me understand them. I hope to reach those who relate to my writings, you’re not alone, it gets better.
