Sukshma

By Shreya Dixit

I'm addicted to her…

She is the first thing,

On my mind when i wake.

She's the last thought,

I have before i sleep.

I haven't gone a day without her.

She can't seem to be left alone by me.

She has killed me,

a little each day.

She kills me a bit more,

Every time i dare.

She'll be the cause of my death

Deserted by her, i know

I can never be…

She's the trusted partner in my crimes

Nothing i do, is without her on my lips.

She bruises more lips than just mine

Taxed all over the world, she's a sin

She does come duty free at different way points

Stays in my pockets next to the lighter,

A pack of smokes, my cruel mistress she be.
