You

Trapped inside your letter-box
I am the half eaten moth 

That would blithely share the light
And you - my nicotine filled cigarette 
You take my breath away, everyday 
In secret, while our shadows play
Not for love, but a silent death-
My final lover who mocks me in whispers 
Not in contempt, but a painful reminder 
And yet, bluntly you call me an animal 
I nod sheepishly, in my stripped pajamas

Without you, only words fill up my paper cup
With you, silence shall serve the poison
