"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?
