Cigarette
Every lingering hope I have will
die at the tip of this cigarette
I let you in me
and now my flesh is under your nails
my flapping valves are stuck between the
tread of your shoes
My eyes
they will go dark
they will constrict and focus on nothing
my thoughts will go numb
like burnt dead skin
exactly
there is no metaphor here
I will put out this smoke in
a green tin can
and
let go.
no one can quit
can't quiet the thoughts
can't stop a
racing mind
until
we all let go
that can work so well
that is
until
we pick up the lighter again
peace
Dylan

this gave me shivers... I really liked the part where you said there is no metaphor here, you will put out that smoke and let go... just shivers! <3

Let go
My theme of the week...
I have on a post it note in my phone case to remind me:
Let it go
Let 'em be
Leave them alone
Stick with what you got
I even let the note go, it fell out somewhere...
Especially like "flapping valves are stuck between the treads of your shoes"
