"It really gets to the point when some people just stop caring. They stop seeing you as a person. They see you as a cigarette. You're something that they need just enough to keep you, but they crush you underfoot when you've surpassed your usefulness. To burn brightly for a moment before smoldering into a smokey silence. It really gets to a point when some people just care too much. They want you, but not you. They want their version of you. The version with sugary words on their lips and gentle love in their hearts. That gentle person is unknown to you. They want you to be perfect, and you know you can't be. It really gets to a point when some people drag you. They drag you down, under the water. They drag you up, around the noose. They drag your cigarette smoke into their lungs and breath you out lazily."
