consumption


please don’t make me eat

i am utterly repulsed by food

i can’t gain weight, no one will love me if i do

please don’t make me eat

 

please don’t make me eat

the feeling of an empty stomach is lovely

and i still want tomorrow’s love

please don't make me eat

 

please don't make me eat

im so so close;

my ribs showing and hips jutting 

i just want to be beautiful so

please don't make me eat

 

even as bad as i am… 

please don’t send me away

please don't make me eat

 

i may not be able to get comfy often

or warm

but i'm so so close

please don't make me eat

just leave it be

please
