Didn't smoke he but carried a lighter
Unlike life, the flames were brighter
A struggling past's terrible reminder
It had made him get used to danger
Was always himself against the world
Left behind at bottom as it unfurled
People he called family deserted him
Its glow sparked up life that was dim
It belonged to a certain chain smoker
Who since his birth he had called father
Passed away in an accident years ago
In his place, an old lighter had to glow
Flicked it on, play with its yellow flame
Hurts fingers a bit, for him just a game
Hold tightly as he looked off a window
Bright fire driving away night's shadow
He kept it close to his beating heart
Him and his lighter almost never apart
Took immense care, it never got lost
For without it he felt like a lone ghost
-Niki
I partially got inspired by a show i recently watched to write this.
I hope everyone is doing well and taking good care of themselves
Thanks for reading!❣️
