The cinders
Of dependent desire
Is slowly dying
As I invoke immortality

The warnings failed
Where a request succeeded
In this addiction to poison
Which I thought I needed

I rationalize, I listen
I feel and I notice
This retreat is necessary
For an undisrupted life

Twenty-one minutes
Added to my future
Courtesy of concern
From a pleasant princess

Trial number one
An attempt to cut back
A success so far
My new proud moment

Filled with the urge
But not as intense
An effort so difficult
But completely in reach
