underneath the heavy heel
like a cigarette
the smell lingered still
no cologne could cloak it all
new lovers, threatened
"as they should be, babe"
the itch for your nicotine
I can't refuse you
my lungs shrivel up
they say pain isn't in love
embrace sacrifice
reality hits
maybe it's not the real thing
but I'll accept it

nicotine haikus
the love was snuffed outunderneath the heavy heel
like a cigarette
the smell lingered still
no cologne could cloak it all
new lovers, threatened
"as they should be, babe"
the itch for your nicotine
I can't refuse you
my lungs shrivel up
they say pain isn't in love
embrace sacrifice
reality hits
maybe it's not the real thing
but I'll accept it
