Hollow cheeks and ashen skin

Skinny jeans but never thin

Diet cokes and cigarettes

Feeding tubes and empty threats

Fragile porcelain collarbone

In a crowd but all alone

Shaking hands and trembling fingers

Oh sweet joy that never lingers

Monsters in your head at night

Eyes are burning in the light

Despising all the calories

Lurking in your groceries

Hollow cheeks and ashen skin

Skinny jeans but never thin.
