"Just once", she said

"It'll only be this once

It's not like they say.

The smoke won't consume you."

Or so she said

"It's not so addictive- just try it!"

"Just once", They said.

But once turned in to twice.

To four times, to sixteen.

To different kinds of similar things.

So many to choose.

Just inhale it all.

Needles, joints, pills

Where to stop?

Where to start?

Never. Nowhere, maybe.

They say it kills

She said they lied.

But she started to cough

And then she died.

"Just once", she had said.

What happened to once?
