the bitter taste of your cheap cigarettes
lingers on my numb tongue.
no amount of licking
the roof of my mouth
and spitting onto your floor
will erase the two drags
i snuck in a moment of complete weakness.

i still don't understand
why i ever wanted
to kiss someone
who tastes this badly,
but oh how the buzz of you
makes me feel dizzy
and complete.
in reality...
i know you are my cancer

yeah i don't really know where i was going with this, symbolism isn't really my friend :-p. does the ending suck? i'm debating..honesty would be awesome. thanks!

I think if you are going for a dramatic ending, the last line definitely does it for you.  Kind of just hits you. The only thing I thought was it was just a little dry. Thats about it! Nice write!

Ohh, I really love love love the
whole idea of this poem.

The ending fits well. It was kind
of a punch in the stomach, really
emphasizes the emotions you were
trying to get across.

Awesome.

I love the opening. I think the ending is a bit cliche. You should work a bit on that and I'd say that you you had a gem. I really like your style.

this is a really great piece.... you get across so many emotions in this....  poetic justice was right about it being a little bit dry but i think it suits what you were saying...
well written and i want to see more from you
