STARVING, BLEEDING, AND NEEDING MORE THAN YOU CAN GIVE
I don't get angry I say,
but that is only three-quarters true.
Every once in a while I seethe.
I'm padding around a dusty kitchen floor...
too weak to sweep, yet still cooking for others.
I don't deserve to eat. I don't deserve to breathe.
I'm careful to wear long sleeves,
keep them out of the food, and hide.
People tend to lose their appetite when they know how much I bleed.
Later I will sit empty, shaking, and alone...
in the bathroom with a blade...
cutting into my arm and watching the flesh recede.
I've been told my eyes have a distant stare these days.
My skin is a pale shade of grey,
and yes, I spend too much time in bed, I concede.
But I'm not sleeping...
just watching the trains of thought go by,
and wishing someone could come fill this endless need.

You put words together so elegantly! You're awesome. Keep posting, I love a good ol' reading. It's particularly fun when the words fit so well together and really touch you.
