Tinted glasses
In a lightless room
She reaches and grabs where she can
But it’s always a shallow effort
Transactional love

But that’s not the love I want to receive
I want to know you trust me
I want to feel you support me
Not take and take and take

I learn to cut the strings for people who are great at wasting my time.
But I mourn each thread of the girl I used to be.
The little girl who hugged lonely looking people in the grocery store.

Unfortunately once I hate you
It’s infinite
It grows and furls in every space of my mind
Unfortunately once I love you
I’m bound to hate you

What they never tell you about loosing weight
Is that you feel each piece leave
There is a tangible feeling of less protection  
Maybe society is so afraid of fat because they know the truth
Fat people wear their armor 24/7

Lately I feel like a bird with wet wings
In theory I have the freedom of the skies
But I’m stuck on the ground

Oh the many many places my anxiety will go
My sweet little parasite ******* me dry
A million small humiliations
My reflection gnarled and twisted at her hands

The funny thing about standing at the mountain top
Is the way it casts a shadow on all the steps before
No matter that I’m looking down the path I just walked
I can’t feel that first step again
I can’t feel the feeling in my stomach the first time his hand brushed mine
I can’t feel the flutter of that first kiss
I can never again feel that first ******
But the cursed last one, that one you never forget.
