She walked in with the smoke,

Red lips and a heart half broke.

The room went still, the air turned tight,

When V appeared bathed in moonlight.

He knew her once, too close, too deep,

She’s the woman that won’t let you sleep.

And now she’s married to the man in control,

But V ... oh V ! she already stole his soul.

V with a cigarette smile,

She'll love you, haunt you, twist you a while.

She's poison and silk, she's thunder and grace,

She’ll vanish and leave her scent in the place.

You try to hate her, but it’s just denial,

You’re already gone… with a cigarette smile.

They played their games, her eyes said “stay,”

But his mouth kept pushing her away.

He held her close just to wound her pride,

And called it justice, while love slowly died.

She danced with strangers, he burned inside,

But both were lost, too bruised to confide.

Now the boss is gone, in smoke or flame,

And V remains… but nothing’s the same.

"I married her... to own her.

But the truth? She already owned me."

"I hated her... because I never stopped loving her."

V with a cigarette smile,

Laced in danger, dressed in denial.

She breaks your heart, then calls it art,

Leaves you bleeding with a quiet part.

And when the lights go low and shadows beguile,

You're still chasing… that cigarette smile.

So here's to V, queen of the night,

Bathed in bourbon, regret, and light.

She never said goodbye, just slipped into style...

With red lips, high heels, and that cigarette smile.
