One More

by Kevin Morgan
(Pensacola, Fl.)

Take one if you will and slip away another day.

A day used

someone else walked,

yours gone you just talked

Not to add but multiply,

that much harder each time you try

To put

down

what you would not leave,

making

yourself in lies

believe

Just one more time and I'll leave

alone

Gone another chance to have

grown

Closer to what you know you

need

Thinking only of yourself,

making others

bleed

The ones who are there who love you so

Must watch the

direction of your grave you go

One day to point the

blame

The next to hide your face in shame

From the mirror who use to

smile

That now

drowns in

denial

A

day can come when there is a

burn

Of wanting to be

just like

before

The truth

you can't and won't

ignore

One more time,

it's through death's door.
