i hate
being hungry
when my insides
eat themselves
and the girl
in the mirror
has black circles
under her eyes.
the devil
she loves
has grown bigger
than her
because she
fed him
all of her pain
because she could not
bear it.
he holds her
from behind
kisses her neck
and whispers in her ear
that she will never
find another lover.
he holds her hand
when she sees stars
and cannot sleep
because she is empty
and tells her
that she is a good girl.
she wants to be good.
so she keeps her lips sealed.
she will die
in the arms
of starvation
because she wanted
to be loved
but could not bear it.
