"love me"
she begs-
i look at her
expressionless.

"care for me"
she sobs-
my arms are
scarred
my thighs are
bleeding.
3 days without
eating
3 days without
sleeping.
an aching
human
skeleton
with no meaning-
no reason.

"comfort me"
she mumbles-
i drown her
out with music.
headphones blaring,
silence retreating.

"fight for me"
she screams-
im drained
of all energy.
i rot away
in my bed-
never sleeping
barely breathing.
no will to
fight.
no hope-
no wish to
survive.

"talk to me"
she cries-
the words caught
in my throat
choke me,
words i never
said
emotions i
swallowed
thoughts i
bit back.
my words are
mangled,
my thoughts are
tangled.
my hands shake,
clawing at my
neck.

"fuel me"
she groans-
i take a sip
of water,
i ignore
my stomach
as it rumbles.

"love me"
she begs-
i stand bare
in the mirror-
vulnerable,
emotional.
sobbing at
my reflection:

"not good enough"
i whisper to her.

"your good enough"
she murmurs-
she pleads,
she cries,
she screams.
