Love Poem: Burn

Burn

The smell of cigarettes used to make my chest ache 
and my lungs hurt 

The bitterness of whiskey made my eyes tear
and my throat burn 

But I have picked up the habit of smoking 
when I am screaming your name so that whenever
I light up a cigarette It would make my room smell like you. 

Whiskey no longer tastes bitter 
It tastes sweet at first like your lips 
but as I lick my lips all I can taste is the saltiness.
