 Why do I lie here like this
Paralyzed by the truth in your kiss
Please, please save me, say you don't love me
Sometimes the venom is the only remedy

A slow poison, killing me by degrees...

-----
This piece is dedicated to the addiction of smoking. Every time I buy a packet of cigarette the caution 'CIGARETTE SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH' written on the packet mocks at me. It's actually funny when we seriously think that we feel glad to avoid fast effecting poison but don't mind enjoying the slow poison although the results are worse than death.

good photo, but title, perspective and lighting focus on the fag, not on the hands

Photo has a good story to it. The darkness of the photo adds to the theme of the poison.

I like that the cigarette is brighter than the rest of the photog, but I don't know what's going on with them crossed legs.
