LIGHT TWO CIGARETTES


Light two cigarettes,
Enjoying all the precious little moments.
O my darling polar bear just hold me and never let go.

I know you're bound for work,
But kiss me one more time before you go.

Of strengths and weaknesses,
Both of mine, you are.
Sweetness which brightens my pale face,
I listen to songs you've never heard as I think of your warm embrace.

What's the deal with our view?
Days I really need you, you grow tired and reserved.
I'm told I should tell you - what it is about you that scorn me,
Yet I rarely can.

Time and again you grow tired alone.
Why can't we be tired together?

Maybe I'm addicted to your love, and maybe not.
Many times I have been the subject of negative attention,
Or the lack of attention altogether.

Don't misunderstand me love.
I am overwhelmed and amazed at how you love me.
After all, a victim of relationship abuse needs more time to heal.
Sometimes what you give just isn't enough.

And so I light two cigarettes, hoping you'll understand me.
