Reflections

She was looking at me,
I lighted my cigarette.
She lighted one herself,
I looked away.


She had nice hair,
I looked back,
My cigarette was burning ash,
My head was aching.


She puffed away,
Moved her hand over her hair.
I looked at the reflections on the water,
Everything seemed gloomy.


I saw her image on the water,
It told me everything,
I did not want to know.
I took a puff again.


Her eyes had those colors,
That makes me blind.
But the smoke numbed my senses,
I enjoyed the disaffection.


I looked at her again,
She looked away.
I saw the smoke,
It blurred the background.


I could only see her now,
I breathed again,
The sky was hazy,
The moon was trying to hide behind the clouds.


She looked back at me,
I smoked the last puff.
I saw her reflections going away,
The water, disturbed.


I saw through the smoke,
I looked beyond her,
The backdrop was clear,
She was fading.


My thoughts faded away,
I lighted another cigarette.
