One Day

She had tried to abstain from her poison,

but there just wasn't enough space

between her and her liquid friend.

Years of struggle can be seen on her face.

A mutual friend shows up

to show her a new beginning.

She refuses to stop, another life ruined

by doing the bottle's bidding.

She made her choice to stay

in a bottle that nurses yesterdays.

Her friend may return one day

to help her live in a brand new way

one day.....maybe....one day.
