Give a dash of blood
In exchange for pity
Shed a tear or two
And maybe you'll be loved

Skip some meals
Take some pills
Drown yourself in drink

Keep going until they notice
Keep going until you can't
One more, one more

One more sleepless night
One more gone too far
One more nearly dead
One more, one more

When will they help?
When will they see?
When to stop?

One more, one more


-b.c.
