coffee and cigarettes

by Morgan D Hafele

a steaming cup...
and another slow burn suicide
leaves me waiting
for times i won't have to hide
these dark secrets behind
my lying eyes...

Author's Note: i don't remember where i first heard slow burn suicide so i can't give credit where credit is due... but i like the sound of it...

As much as we may in some way enjoy those taboos, at the same time I'm sure all us coffee drinkers and smokers have thought these words to ourselves. Great capture Morgan! COUGH

this rolls off the tongue well. why do they leave you waiting though?
