The Trail of His Cigarette

By Madison M. Long

"I've learned to accept that love is always hard. 

Never too hard, 

But always a mountain to climb and a kick while you're down."

The Trail of His Cigarette is a heartbreak story. It tells the age-old tale of a love that isn't what it seems and doesn't last as long as you'd hope.

"This is all we have now,

A funeral and this eulogy  I wrote for us."

Dedication:

You’ve loved me through everything. When all is dark, you light my path.

Thank you for your lines, your support, your advice, and your never-ending supply of kindness.

This one’s for you, moondust.

Foreword:

There was more to the love we had, but I can’t keep trying to do justice to a heartbreak.

Then again, it is the loving and the lamenting that keeps me sane.

The Eulogy

On Top of the World

Kiss me in the countryside,

Love me in the mountains,

And hold my hand in the plains.

Don’t let this moment

Leave too quickly.

Hold me tighter,

Take another photograph.

I could live here in the sky,

Between the rocks –
