In love,
I have fallen twice.
Once of yearning,
|once of acceptance.
One I thought forever,
|one I knew a moment.
I loved her as if it was fate,
|I loved her as if she were a lesson.
She said it's over,
|she called and cried,
I cried,
|she was scared,
I was devastated,
|her fear hurt me.
If it makes you happy,
|don't cry if it makes you happy.
I'll let you go.
|I was never holding on.

Do not frown upon the smiling in my wake;
who jest through weeping eyes,
"Too soon..." "Not right..." you'll say.
Laugh in spite of death,
for nothing terrifies me as this mourning,
when I lived chasing happiness.

It's happening again,

I can't bring myself to eat,

I am starving,

my body wants it,

but my mind,

my mouth,

they don't.

|

I bought a breakfast sandwich today,

I love the smell of warm cheese,

I sat in my truck as I unwrapped it,

and I felt my appetite grow,

but not my will.

|

I rested my teeth on my breakfast,

and slowly clenched down,

as my mind raced,

overly aware of the process,

my teeth pierced the breading,

melted cheddar cheese,

a fresh baked egg,

I pictured it sliding down my throat,

nourishing my body,

"food is good."

I couldn't take another bite.

|

I wrapped my sandwich and went to work,

for hours I sipped my coffee,

pacing by it,

telling myself,

"I WILL EAT!"

as the hour struck four,

I grabbed my sad sandwich,

and clenched my fist around it,

until the egg seeped from the paper.

I want to eat,

why won't you let me?
