habits

I shouldn’t have tak­en the last shot
Which had the fa­mil­iar­i­ty of your lips
The essence sweet on my breath
Like the rec­ol­lec­tions it conjured 

I shouldn’t have tak­en the last drag of that cigarette
En­gulf­ing me in a pu­trid cloud I’ve adapt­ed to
Which stained my sweater with a fragrance
Taint­ed, yet trea­sured like our past 

I should have thrown away the sweater
The one you leant me that smelled of yourself
This Fra­grance of longing
In­hibits de­sires too far-gone
These ad­dic­tions of which you suc­cumbed to con­coct this aroma
Now en­cir­cle me, as they’ve be­come habits of my own
 

As much as I try to remember
For­get­ful­ness blan­kets over
And I can’t de­cide which is less harmful
