Love is a Smoker’s Dingy Yellow Lamp

I stared 
in silence,
wondering 
how all the 
dust and grime
gathered
unwanted
on top of 
something
that was once
so fresh 
and new

The remnants
of excitement
now dimmed
beneath
years of 
toil and 
disappointments

and I had 
no idea
how to 
even begin
to remove
the stains
