~Just One More ~

“Just one more”

Just one more cut to know I’m alive

Just one more pill to cover the scars

Just one more drink so I can survive

She stands in her bedroom doorway

Her hands covered in blood

Just one more cut so I can feel alive

Her small frail son

Sits in the old chair

Rocks back and forth

Quivering in fear

Just one more pill she yells to her son

To cover my unattractiveness

Of years gone by

He looks up, his eyes filled with tears

He screams out

Why? Why? Why?

Just one more drink she yells

As she is barely able to hold on

I just know I can survive

I go and I sit next to him

Not sure how to comfort his pain

I look into the direction he’s looking

I try to remain unruffled and serene

Just one more cut to feel I’m alive

Just one more pill to hide my scars

Just one more drink I know I will survive

I take his small hand Place it into mine

Somehow he pulls himself together

Stands with apprehension

Still trembling in fear

She watches him

As he walks past her

His eyes

Drenched in pain

She yells at him

Just one more cut so I can feel alive

Just one more pill to cover these scars

Just one more drink I know I will survive

In the whisk of the moment she sees his pain

She moves closer to her son as she follows his eyes

There in this moment

Is what caught her by surprise

There she lies in her bed

Drenched in her own blood

Pills scattered amongst the wet stain sheets

On the floor next to her bed

Is her last fallen drink

Just one more cut

She says in a whisper

For I’m no longer alive

Just one more pill

For I can no longer hide

Just one more drink

As I close my eyes
