Just a cut.
Just a scratch.
"What's that mark?"
"It was the cat."
Just an excuse.
Just a lie.
"What's with all the bracelets?"
"Just fashion, why?"
Just a tear.
Just a scream.
"Why were you crying?"
"Just a bad dream."
But it's not just a cut or a tear, or a lie.
It's always just one more until you
die.
