Just One More

Just one more

one more bite

Just one more

one more bite

and one more

and one more

 

NO more

Stop it! I can't hold anymore! 

Let me be! 

 

"Oh, but don't you feel that?

the pain?

You can't handle it.

You have to.

Keep eating."

 

 

 

 

Okay, okay.

 

So, I ate one more.

Which led to another, 

which led to an empty pantry.

And on to an empty heart.

Till all that filled me was the food.

The voice was right, there was no more pain.

 

But what the voice never told me,

was that just one more

robbed me of feeling anything.

Each one,

together an army against my mind.

 

If I had just fought back as much,

as much as I listened..

 

 

 

 

okay, okay.

you're right.

 

I'll just eat one more.
