11 : starve

if my fingers chip and nails turn blue
will you stay by my side
i thought this in my bed alone
on that september night

but you didn't stay to help me
when i started to progress
you left me in your fucking dust
"you're just too depressed."

and now we're together again
and you sleep soundlessly in peace
but now i want to starve away
my body's every little piece.

fast for 24 hours
and eat less than a child
vomit til my spit turns sour
and think every hour :

starve , starve , starve away
the pain he set upon you
and though you can never say
"you fucking ruined me, it's true."
