Just One More by Juniper Lee (top 5 books to read .TXT) 📕

Just one more,
Just one more,
A whisper as it leaves your lips,
Not a cry or a plea,
But a bargain,
Each time it takes away the pain,
Only momentarily,
And soon it washes back over you,
Plunging you into darkness,
So it's always just one more,
Just one more.

Just one more hit,
You tell yourself,
You know it's a lie,
But say it anyway,
Your fingers shake,
As you take it,
Using it to fall into fantasy.

Just one more cut,
You think silently,
You betray yourself,
As you plunge the knife deep,
Killing nobody but yourself,
You relish the awakening pain,
As it distracts you from reality.

Just one more,
You wish it was true,
Just one more,
The next could be 'the one',
You convince yourself,
Even after all the betrayal,
Because the kisses, the embraces,
Take away the hurt,
But soon another is added,
To your long list of deception,
Still you wait for the next one.

Something is there,
Pulling you forward,
Always whispering in your ear,
Willing you to do it again,
Because it's just one more,
Just one more.
