Cliché Ashtray

There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice. - Thoreau

i know it sounds cliché

but it's cloudy again today

I loved you from afar

because there was no room for me with the cigarettes, weed, booze, crack and dope

maybe there'll be room for me some day

when you get those raping, pillaging things out of the way

then we'll both know what to say

at least there's always room for hope

Author's Note

"Our vices always lie in the direction of our virtues, and in their best estate are but plausible imitations of the latter." - Thoreau
