Day 99: Drowning

"you would have never guessed
that she's drowning
slowly drowning
but there she is
with a cigarette between red lips
telling me she is not okay
her eyes plead for me to save her
'I'm coming'
I say to her but she does not hear me
I am too late
and I watch
as a cloud of smoke consumes her 
leaving nothing but a burned out cigarette
laying on the ground."
