Just another bus ride to no-where...lol{no ideas or tune in mind}
As usual...anyone wanting to put this to some music, feel free, changes welcomed and encouraged!

The cigarette lays smoldering
In the ashtray on the bar
He stares at it intensely
Yet his thoughts are off afar

He recalls the Smoky Mountains
The honeymoon they lovingly shared
The oak tree he carved their names in
To symbolize their love declared

They were only seventeen
When they wed that july night
As each memory came flooding back
Another cigarette he would light

You could see it in his face
The stories in his tears
He had lost his lifelong love
A love too short on years

Cancer took her away from him
She now lies beneath that oak
The ashtray holds what could of been
And another cigarette goes up in smoke

Good lyrics Kenny another good poem that could be set to music.

did she die of lung cancer from second hand smoke?
Couldn't help myself, Kenny.

Good lyrics. Needs a chorus, though, I think.

LOL Doug, does read that way doesn't it...Not sure about a chorus, but it definitely needs something lol

Little scary there for a moment, looking below at all the 'members replying' gave a little rush, then I remembered whose thread they were in

guess smoking does cause hacking lol
