Your Discarded Cigarette

we met when we were nico-teenagers
you were going through a rebellious patch
you were looking for someone to act cool with
I leaned in with a match
though your friends called me disgusting
and I was banned from all the bars in town
you found me irresistible
I helped to calm you down
now my influence still lingers
do you wish we’d never met?
I’m a stain upon your fingers
I'm your discarded cigarette
you grew up, but I didn’t
I made it hard for you to breathe
and though it made you sick at first
you finally got me to leave
though years have passed
you left the country
and bought a house with your savings
every now and then
you think of me
and can’t resist the cravings
