Again

“Just one more” he said,
as he looked down and realized
he could use one more drink
and one more kiss
with one more woman
who had told him one more time
that one more fight
or one more mistake
would mean he had no more chances
and there would be two more broken hearts but
three chances later
the man was alone.
“Just one more” he said
maybe just one more time and he’d get it right
“Just one more.” He said meant it
but maybe one more wouldn’t be enough
“Another” he said and turned away.
“Always another”
