bones
Waiting for the sea she sits
writing with her fingertips
setting down herstory on the sand;

waiting, with a wistful eye
watching for the rising tide
wondering if stories can be drowned..

bones
She opens a window
and hopes for the sky
to fall in from outside
and it's tailwind bring

her the moon and the clouds
lined with silver, a crowd
of the finest of stars
and a spare pair of wings..
Do you not know
Of this obsession
I am currently
Fawning over?

Do you not know
Of this drug
That I’ve been keeping
Since a month ago?

Do you not know
Of the reasons
Why I’m always
On a high?

Of course
You wouldn’t know
You’re too occupied
With the thoughts of her

You wouldn’t know
Of the things I do
Because you won’t even bother
To spare me some attention

You’re the drug
You’re the obsession
But hell, you don’t know
And I’m sure you won’t even care

No one should ever
Want this demon
To take over them
It's evil
Takes over
Your entire being
Something that
I wish i knew
Thin doesn't equal happiness
Control doesn't give you power
It makes you miserable
In every sense of the word
All it does
Is have
A deadly obsession
With the scale
That never changes
Nothing ever satisfies
Your starving soul
