For anyone who has lost a loved one due to smoking related cancer.
I can feel it getting Darker now,
The coldness closing in,
A terminal cancer, exchanged for a life of sin,
Medication can't help me, and now I'm all alone,
With the memories of loved one's,
And a path I could have known.
My time is running out, I can feel it under my skin,
Crawling inside me now,
My mind is wearing thin.
All my thoughts trained back, to that boringly long delay,
When I had my first cigarette, then twenty a day.
If only I had known the damage it would cause,
Instead of impressing a girl, or at least so I thought!!
I won't let anyone see me, not see me this way,
I'm destined to die alone...because of my twenty a day,
