Click, click.
Click, click.
 Sparks fly from the lighter
 Nah didn’t work.
 Click, click. 
 Sparks, flames. Inhale slowly.
 Hold it in. Exhale.
 Pass it.
 Breathe slowly.
 Listen to the clicks fading, 
 Then, returning once more.
 Click, click.
 Smoke fills your lungs.
 Exhaling slowly, you cough.
 Stifle a sigh, good hit.
 You feel your brain under pressure.
 Click, click.
 Suck in.
 Count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
 Breathe out.
 Fifth time. Good hit.
 You’ll stand, heart racing, cold sweat
 You’ll laugh uncontrollably, eyes dilated,
 You’ll tense your muscles, your veins will tingle
 I’ll watch as you start fading
 You’ll sleep for far too long.
