catching the last train out of town
I can’t catch my breath
nor can I see
what is it you’ve done to me
I’ve not had a cigarette
in over a century
but oh my how I still crave them
I once believed you taught me
all there is to know
but you proved me wrong (again)
by setting me free
there’s nothing quite like
catching the last train out of town
waning gibbous arising
long ago you said I’m only human
but now we both know
there’s more to this story
april two thousand eighteen

That is so cool. Thank you!
This is my favorite:
“I’ve got a needle
You’ve got a tongue”
My God, how I can relate to this! *tears
thank you for sharing your thoughts on this piece
