My last cigarette

MY LAST CIGARETTE

This ain’t a cry for help.

This a notice.

I’m done.

⸻

Ash fall slow off the filter tip

Same lie, new face, I’m sick of it

Jaw clenched, hands shake, patience thin

I ain’t angry — I’m past that shit

Gave too much, kept score too long

Carried weight that wasn’t my fault

Every “be patient” chipped the bone

Now my calm feel dangerous

Same walls, same dumb talk

Same promises never bought

I learned silence say the most

When you done explaining who you are

⸻

ONE

MORE

DRAG

THEN

DONE

WITH

ALL

THIS

(chant)

ALL THIS

ALL THIS

⸻

This my last cigarette

Last breath before I snap

I ain’t sayin’ shit no more

I’m done tryin’ to adapt

This my last cigarette

Watch the ash hit the ground

If you hear me walk away

That’s the sound of me done

⸻

I smiled through disrespect

Called it growth, called it depth

Truth is I been bitin’ my tongue

Till it taste like blood and regret

I don’t argue, I erase

I don’t warn, I change space

When I leave, it ain’t dramatic

I just don’t come back the same

You can keep the noise, the blame

I don’t need closure, I need space

Every bridge don’t need fire

Some just die when I walk away

⸻

NO

MORE

WORDS

LEFT

NO

MORE

CHANCES

(chant)

NO MORE

NO MORE

⸻

This my last cigarette

Last breath before I snap

I ain’t sayin’ shit no more

I’m done tryin’ to adapt

This my last cigarette

Watch the ash hit the ground

If you hear me walk away

That’s the sound of me done

⸻

I don’t hate you

I don’t care

That’s worse

That’s rare

You had me once

You lost me then

This ain’t revenge

This the end

⸻

This my last cigarette

No apologies left

I ain’t bitter — I’m awake

I just chose myself

This my last cigarette

Let it burn, let it end

If you wonder where I went

I chose peace over pretend

⸻

Some people explode.

Some people leave.

This was mine.
