Ablaze
- 2. The last time I saw you was supposed to be a good time.
A time of polite inquiries and banter.
- 3. But you did it, you opened the pack
and put it in your mouth.
- 4. I watched the end of your cigarette
as it dissolved into itself.
- 5. Its intent is sinister,
And you and I both knew this,
So why did you do it?
- 6. What was so depressing
that caused you to become in love with death
and destroy yourself?
- 7. I stand here at your grave,
holding a flower from the garden.
- 8. I put it down on your tombstone,
which is ablaze in sunlight.
- 9. I will stay here until morning,
until the last star extinguishes,
- 10. just as your last cigarette was extinguished
causing you to disappear.
