How to Ash a Cigarette

By CryMeaRiver

You can't learn how to ash a cigerette 
on the internet
and that's a reason I smoke 
You can't learn to french inhale 
until you've taken up to toke 
all these cool and flashy things
can't be bought by diamond rings 

They hurt at first 
coughing, you think your lungs might burst 
then after awhile learn what dry mouth is 
and how it increases thirst 
becoming a fein 
will demean 
your judgement of an addict 
and make you think twice 
about all the dust in your attic 

A lot of people who smoke 
tend to be in movies or where black
we replace an addiction
for the things we can't get back
