She takes a breath,
Draws it in slow.
Savors the taste of another night
Exhales the words of a wasted fight.

In her hand is a cigarette
Burning, trying to forget.
It burns, but never consumes
The memory that she's come to fear.

Those words echo in her ear
Hands clenched tight by her side.
Smoke rising towards cloudless sky
Wondering why she ever thought to try.
