Relapse
Your mind and body say yes
"Just one" they say
"You need this", "Only one"
The demons within tell you "Just do it"

Your will to live says, "No"
"You can beat this"
If you listen closely, you see that your mind is playing tricks

Your body is really screaming for you not to "Please not again"
But you don't hear the crys
All you know is you need the release

To see the open flesh and watch
As the line of red dots appear
Only to come together to form
tear shapes and slowly drip down

You did it, it's done
Just another scar on your already imperfect body
The damage is already done
So you might as well keep going

You feel yourself starting to slowly fall again into darkness
Open your eyes, take a breath
Only you can save yourself
