Breaking The Habit. - Poem

I’m sitting beside my window sill,
Watching smoke swirl against my will.

Golden rays flooding in through a half-open window,
I can’t believe my life is just too slow.

Dreams and ashes falling between my fingers like snow flakes,
Cold and numb, dwelling on old crushes and heart aches.

I don’t wanna die young, even thoughts tastes sour,
How the hell did I wind up like this? I don’t even want to hear her sing once more.

I’ll get around breaking the habit, but for now the story is played out like this,
Someday I will, but not right now. Why weren’t I able to see the chances I miss?

I’m gonna make it all right, someway, somehow,
I want to rewrite everything I’ve messed up; but not right now.

Each time I lite one more, Does all my life turn to a joke?,
I swear to do it never again, each day as I watch my life go up in smoke.

Ruben is really bored. So you can email him by clicking here. He usually gets back in 3 minutes or it could take up to 3 weeks depending on how addicted he is, to stumbleupon.  Been a little busy for a while, so I'm averaging about a blog every 2 moon cycles. If you are lucky, you'll get to see a new blog entry and know what I'm upto. And when you are here, just let me know by leaving a comment.

I’m glad I quit when I was 22. It really wasn’t that hard to do…

Hey Toni, I just wrote it when people told me to quit and I kinda wanted to do it too.. It looks like a long way before I quit.

You know I had a scare… Chest pains that wouldn’t quit for some reason it made putting the smokes down easy. I think I thought I was going to die. Even though I was 22 when I quit I had been smoking a pack a day since I was 11. So, it was already taking it’s toll on me.

sorry that i didn’t say anything about the poem before. but i was thinking that maybe you should write more and publish these stuff. you do write really great!
i like the 3rd and 6th couplet the most…

They have their consequences. I can’t always publish everything I write.

& there is something wrong with my blog wordpress software too. I did an automatic upgrade that screwed all my php files. Site might have to be put under maintenance for a while. Even you might have seen a file missing error while posting comments.

Perhaps, there will be a way to get that man to lay down the lighter.

I nearly went off into the alternate universe where tobacco, and no substitute therefore, never came into existence.

It would be interesting.

Anyway, lovely.

~You know who I am, Ruben.
