It’s been a year
since I cut you from my life
It was important to see you go
I needed to say goodbye
You were no good for me
What you made me do
was poisonous
What you made me feel
was just an escape
The last several years
I kept you a secret
sneaking in a moment or two with you
whenever I could be unseen
be undiscovered
But oh
how I do miss you at times!
You brought me comfort
and made me feel safe
when I felt anxious or unsure
you were a part of my every day
But the safety was false
the security wasn’t true
You actually heightened my anxiety
and made me unwell
And so you had to go
because I knew
you were no good for me
You didn’t align
with who I am
or what I value
You weren’t meant to be a part of who I am
and I needed to say goodbye
Thanks for the good times
but I’m glad you are gone
goodbye
dear cigarettes
goodbye
