I was inspired as I watched a man in a bar dragging on a cigarette as though his next breath depended on it. It made me think about the similarities of nicotine addiction and sexual desire.

YOUR CIGARETTE
copyright 2004 Karen J. Layer
Got burned again today
You lit me like your cigarette
Turned red and felt the pain
You know me well, knew I'd forget
This game you like to play
So unaware, I placed my bet
Got burned again today
Just like your cigarette
I'm swimming in your flames
You hold me I'm your cigarette
Caress me with your hands
Light me-You know I'll soon forget
And dive into your flames
Oh, catch me
I'm your cigarette
Your lips are all I see
Breathe me in
Inhale me
Habitually
Desire me
Your cigarette
Your cigarette...
I met you through a friend
He introduced us casually
Know this will never end
Old habits don't die easily
Sure, you can play pretend
Nicotine patch me away
I'm enemy, I'm friend
Addiction's here to stay
You're swimming in my flames
I hold you-You're my cigarette
Caress you with my hands
Light you-I know you won't forget
You'll dive into my flames
I'll catch you
My sweet cigarette
My lips are all you'll see
I'll breathe you in
Inhale you
Desire you
My lips on you
My cigarette
My cigarette..
I'm swimming in your flames
Swimming in your flames
Swimming in your flames
