Whispers of Relapse

*

Another night-

Another fight-

Between Me, Myself, and I.

I have the reason;

I have the right;

I can't escape this Plight.

*

It whispers to me

"Hear me now-

I'm here to stop the strife.

There's only one thing

You must do:

And that is take a knife."

*

"A tempting offer,"

I must say,

"But I must turn away.

I can't go back-

Not to that place-

I worked so hard to erase."

*

"Suit yourself,

But I'll be back,

Of this I can assure.

You need me now,

Just like before:

You'll scream and beg for more."

*

The voice flew away-

I fought it off-

At least for one more night.

Life is hard,

Recovery harder,

But tonight I am stronger

*
