i try to believe
that the toxins i inhale
will take away the pain.
the pain that you left behind when you went away.
but its still there.
lurking in every inch of my body

scraping and scratching my soul as it goes along.
i try so hard to pretend it isnt there
but its too hard to overcome.
they say that its all part of life,
and you cant escape the pain that comes along with love.
love that i gave to you.

but i guess you dont want it.
so i'll just sit here and try to make the pain go away again.

cigarettes. take. away. the pain.
