a craving hits me in the night
keeps from the sleep
that would ease my exausted plight.
Just an ache in my chest
that consumes my thoughts to no end.
A taste, just a taste of what i want,
perhaps more, a hacking decaying feast,
to put my addiction at ease.
Make it still for one more hour,
just one more day.
I want to inhale and hold it close
never exhale till it hurts,
hurts to much not to let go.
A black and rotting flesh
holds my air so percariously.
Just one, but maybe two.
Lovers that kill me kindly
kill me slowly.
In the back of my mind I know it hurts,
in my heart I know i am dying.
I could live one more day
if only I could put away the need.
The need for methol filled tar,
that just makes my lungs unceasingly bleed.

man I feel this -I have gone nearly a month without and it's been torturous -I hate people who say it's easy. Typical that the sweetest things kill you. I enjoyed this 'never exhale till it hurts' -but then I have liked all your writes
