“Home” reeks of cigarette.
But now that I’m gone
I’ve grown to miss that cigarette smell.
Now when I think of “home” all I can think of is the overpowering scent of two cigarettes fill my lungs second hand .
I can’t go to “home” anymore
because I can’t stand the smell of two cigarettes.
I miss the smell of “home” just the light colored smoke swirling in a mesmerizing way into the air
But since the second cigarette smell came back it has made the smell of “home” unbearable as it chokes my lungs and suffocates my memories of the one lone cigarette.
It has ruined the state and purity of the light colored smoke turning it dark and heavy.
