Dance of loneliness

He's out the door
Its all you can do
To stop him.
Standing there
Naked in the doorway
Drop down in heaves
Of silence.
Is this right
Was this wrong
It's gone again.
Light another one up
Replace the last
And you're gone again.
Shooting through your veins
One thing on your brain
Like heroine.
The waiting is done
When you breathe the one
That sticks to your lungs 

Like tar.
Blackens you 

From the inside out
Blood dried 

Veins in drought
Thoughts leave your brain in doubt.
Heart crumbled to ash
Dusts the floor

Mixing with 

The cigarette tip
One more drag 

The world is gone.

Last cigarette
Drag it all in
Before the world ends.
Light goes out
Toss it down 

Stomp it out.
No second thought 

Move on.
Another dance alone
Same old song.
