First love  

like your first cigarette

it starts off hot

then burns down slow

with a racing heart

it steals your breath

they’re a lot alike you know…

Gracing your lips

and fingertips

with smoking hot desires

requiring a gentle grip

as you savor passions fires

Your first girl is the filter

for your masculinity

she gives a sweet

and smother taste

and sets your tension free.

both tease addictively.

Soon cravings will consume you

to have more of it each day

but whether nicotine

or sweet perfume

there’s a price you have to pay….

First loves are just a sampling

a glimpse of what’s to be,

a lesson for your younger years

a love they call “Puppy”

And cigarettes briefly address

Life’s cruel anxieties

but soon enough they bring duress

cause you can’t let them be.

They’re full of similarities

they both keep you compelled

but first loves usually fade away

they will not harm your health..

So if I had my druthers

over smokes or first time lovers.

I‘d choose to skip the nicotine

for a girl whose like no other.

Who will guide me

through my innocence

and give me much to cherish

over cigarettes that might bring me

 too many ways too perish!

First love like your first cigarette

it starts off hot

then burns down slow

with a racing heart

it steals your breath

they’re a lot alike you know…
