Story of a Girl

Slipping

Sh used to hug you
And talk to you
And joke with you
And laugh with you

She used to want to be around you
And touch you
And see you
And hear you

Now she wants to cut you
And yell at you
And hurt you
And swear at you

You don't let her sleep at night
You don't let her think
You don't let her breathe
You don't let her live

She lies on her bed in fetal position
With a pit in her stomach and scars that are new
Memories that are replaying and screaming, fuck you!

So naturally the only thing that the girl
Wants to do at a moment like this
Is turn on cartoons
And inhale boat loads of chocolate

So she sulks and she wallows
And swallows her feelings
And the ghosts in her head
Whisper obscene things

Cheetos and ice cream
Now dominate her stomach
And every bite her head screams
Fat, ugly, bitch

The food which she ate
For comfort and pleasure
Tells her she's stupid
And dares her to measure

Whispers haunt her while she eats
Loneliness stalks her when she's alive
You rape her dreams while she's asleep
And her past watches from the back of her mind

She lies to herself
Denying that she needs help
The only relief she receives
Is pretending she's writing about somebody else
