Cigarette burns, her gaze snares mine
Acceptance blurred, "my days share thine"
Repentance, slurred, in case she cries
Intense response negates replies
No, nothing numbs, but STILL! I try
Ensconced in this ho-hum, I die
Discipline, this conundrum fries
Critic's spit on my gravestone, Lies
What light paints hope upon my eyes
Smile bright, the saints elope besides
Beguiled sigh, my disguise subsides
Right me this night, insane sunrise

Your first line drew me in! I love the way you play with rhyme.
