300,000 unsmoked ciggies

three hundred thousand unsmoked fags

since i took the plunge and stopped

i did it cold turkey mates, suffered as

my nicci levels plunged and dropped.

no nicci patches, 

no nicci chewing gum,

no electric cigs,

good enough for some,

no therapies to help,

they just didn’t exist,

all those placebos 

i so sadly missed.

so i went cold turkey mates

mainly through short cash

so why do i still dream of

lighting up, crashing the ash.

i dream i still smoke,

enjoy every single one

memories flooding back

from years long gone.

every single pilsner

accompanied by a fag

nothing quite like a grosse

and a long deep drag.

its sad really;

just a sick joke,

because in real life i just can’t

stand the smell of ciggie smoke.

i did it cold turkey mates, suffered

as my nicci levels plunged and dropped
