Gone Mad

19 1 2
                                    


In her idyllic head, she caves, I swear she's gone mad

She tells the mirror she's not addicted, we all know her history

Idealizing an image of how her shoulders used to fall, delicate but sturdy

Sometimes you'll hear her clamor if you get up early

I watch her legs always dangling over the hot stove 

If she doesn't reach out soon, she'll implode

Yet she bears the heat, she likes it even

The smell of burning flesh brings her some sort of reason

Without it, how would she recognize she's still alive?
