Cigarettes



Tears rolling down her cheeks
As she heard the next door neighbor
The greatest cigarettes smoker is
Struggling to death at St. Joshes Hospital

She always inform you not to smoke
But you never listen
As she recall just to re-inform you that
She doesn't want a Cigarette to be a
Mystery in your life

As the time goes by the bonds between
You and her grow stronger. After long hours of work
She goes to sleep. In the morning when she
Opens her eyes she sees your sweet face
Therefore she forgot all the pain

She loves you so much that she is willing to
Share rest of her life with you no matter what
In return can you imagine leaving some body
Whom you love so much with heart full
Of sorrow for rest of her life.
