Addictions

Just one more

You promise yourself

As you order another beer

But more and more keep coming

Until your head becomes unclear

Just one more 

You promise yourself

As you inhale the smoke

Until your lungs start to tighten

And you begin to choke

Just one more

You promise yourself

As a stranger shares your bed

But the test came back positive

And now a baby you dread

Just one more

You promise yourself

Watching a couple drops of blood

But soon enough from your wrist 

Is a flowing red flood

Just one more 

You promised yourself

When you were caught in strife

But the demons that once imprisoned you

Made you end your life
