Why the cigarette, they ask
Why the isolation, they ask
Why the sadness, they ask
Why the tears, they ask
Why the quiet, they ask
Why the pain, they ask
I have no answers
To any of the why’s
If I did
I might not be sad
Quiet
Crying
Hurting
Smoking it away
So don’t ask me why
Because I have no answers
It just is
That’s all I can say
And I am silently hoping
To let go of it
With the cigarette smoke…
