Ashtray

The smoke fills the room
Your eyes
They pain
They twinkle
For the wrong reasons

The smoke fogs the vision

The smoke clogs your decision

It is time to tap it

Breathe in to breathe out

Breathe out to breathe in

Could not take the leap of faith

But, I took a drag

To the end

This heart is now an ashtray
