Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Aged

Some of the most irritating
Things in life are people.
But not you.
You're suave, smooth,
Aged.

I see the beautiful
In your eyes.
You've seen more bad than good.
When I try
To sympathize, you chuckle
And say,
“Hey, that' s life.”

You are so right.

You accompany me to the smoke shop,
Pay for my overpriced cigarettes.

I wish I knew how to tell you I quit
But then would I ever see you again?

I'd have to go back to remembering
Our “cozy” chats,
Which were held not at the
Stereotypical Starbucks coffee scene,
But at a seven eleven,
Waiting for out burritos
To get done in the  microwave.

I could just behold the sensation
In those eyes,
Knowing those aren't sparks of interest
But rather,
Sparks of lunacy.
