small thin cylinder
just a white tube
sharp glowing ember
acrid bite of smoke
once you were my lover
my world revolved around you
I craved your harsh kiss in my morning
needed it at night so I could sleep
I see you now
with new lovers
corrupting them
as you once did me
I can finally see you now
can see at last what you truly are
my personal addiction to destruction
silently destroying all that I am
this will not be
I cast you away
living life free
my life is my own
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
