Are you frightened by the reflection staring back at you?
The person you used to be is dead in those eyes that once held so much light.
You hear what they say about how you used to laugh and you wish just once more it was the same.
But the laughs seem mono-toned and alone.
The smiles are forced so painfully on your chubby cheeks.
The weight you lost came crawling back at full force and you ate the stress away because it kept you occupied.
Those people you called friends only come out when there is no one else around..
And you refuse to ask for help because you don't even know where to start.
Are you scared to admit thatΒ Β you knew this would happen all along.
There was something in the way the anger and sadness spread so quickly to your heart.
And the way your body seemed to be slowly but surely shutting down.
Can you remember when he used to love you and how spunky you used to be?
He told you that you changed and you kinda smirked.
He reminded you of everything you weren't anymore.
Are you scared of the reflection staring back at you?
I am so lost.
