The man outside my door

[Abby]

The man outside my door  

 

Outside my door I heard a man coughing , nasty cold he had , I thought

But it wasn't a cold , it was smoking .

I'd forgotten about that nasty cough , because I don't have it anymore . 

 

Outside my door I heard that man out on his deck often  ... I noticed he was new to the neighbourhood ...  

He was needing to feed his addiction . 

I'd forgotten that constant need to go in and out .. I don't need to anymore . 

 

Outside my door I can smell the smoke , although its a distance away.

Gosh it smells !

Glad I don't smell like that anymore . 

 

Outside my door I've seen some butts perhaps they've blown in the wind .

I worry about fire .  

I'm glad my littering won't cause a fire cause I don't smoke anymore . 

 

I wonder does that man have kids ?

I bet he's a loving father that got caught up in addiction . 

I hope he faces denial soon for him and his kids and like us won't smoke anymore .
