Nicotine
old habit of my heart
my fingers reach blindly
Nicotine
your rasping embrace
in my nostrils
Nicotine
bitter taste fading
hand curled around your comfort
Nicotine
Your scent brings the memory
of motions long lost,
without purpose
Nicotine
My longing swells and dies,
dark tidal pulse
Nicotine
sword to my neck,
taunting release
Nicotine
blind Damocles, laughing
Nicotine
untoucheable
Nicotine Love.
