Nicotine

Nicotine 

That beautiful toxic chemical 

That disgustingly addictive drug

Just standing in your presence is unhealthy

To take you in, could kill me in good time

But when I breath in your sublime medication 

I am able to tranquilize the monsters 

Demons that only crave one thing

My sanity 

Tho you save me from some

You summon more

With every lung full of your air

Your sucubi slowly swallow my life before my eyes

They feast slowly 

At first seeming like an exotic animal

But they gradually reveal their true nature

Then suddenly they are just as vicious the rumors surrounding them 

And i don't mind this

Because your demons are quieter than mine 

And death comes to us all sooner or later
