Embers

[Weedguru_Dusk]

You’re the cigarette burning between my fingertips
The dangerous addiction I’ve got to have
But when the nicotine hits
The buzz goes to my head

It’s like I’m in love all over again
That feeling inside makes me wanna fly
And dance around in the late night

‘Cause no matter what I fear
I know you’ll be right here
The ember at the end of my camel light
Dull at times but ready to burn
At the first sign of a fight

You’re the cancer of my heart
A tumor that molds my emotions
Developing into something stronger
Take away the darkness inside
And replace it with something kind

Perhaps the things in life we think are wrong
Are the things we truly need to get things to move on

Wow Dusk! That's one of your best works I've read!! Seriously, I can relate to that on many levels. I've actually used smokes as a metaphor or allusion before in a couple of my writings, but some of the ways you described it in there were bang on the dot.

‘Cause no matter what I fear
I know you’ll be right here
The ember at the end of my camel light
Dull at times but ready to burn
At the first sign of a fight

Yeah, that touched me, like a cigarette burn, instantly there and forcing my thoughts to recoil from the intensity. I liked it alot

Peace~
