I starve myself
But not to feel pretty and skinny
I stop eating because I’m not hungry
I stop thinking about food
And I stop thinking about what
I have eaten and what I want to eat
I go hungry even if there is food
I don’t think hard about what I should
Eat and what I should see
Maybe I’m scary
But I starve myself
To feel something

I felt the weight of your hands in mine
It's heavy
Like I was holding all of your pain
And your sorrows

I felt the weight of your soul crawling into mine
It's lost
Wishing and reaching for something
Anything, everything

I felt the weight of your stare against my skin
It's burning
Like it was going to create a permanent mark at the spot
An irreplaceable mark

Sitting in the science room
You glowed brighter than the moon
But I couldn't see past the ego
That sits in front of me
The heart that needed to know that love
Is for anyone and everyone

I want to go to my grave unafraid,
at peace with choices I've made
I want to go to my deathbed
not regretting every word I said that day, with clouds in my eyes and raindrops on your face
If it comes down to forgive or never live, I'm unafraid
Because I can do both today
I will do both today

I remember, once,
In my childhood home
There was a mean young man
Whose house was across from mine
He had no children to call his own
But five really mean dogs who
Like to give me a barking fright
My mother grew weary of their mean accusations,
So we moved, to a land far far away

I remember, once,
In my grandparents home
There was a girl my age
Whose house was down the street from mine
She had two siblings,
One young and one old
But she still treated us all the same,
A happy smile on her face
She was my best friend for only a year
Her only causality is she didn't move with me

I remember, once,
In our brand new home,
How I knew nobody there, not a soul
I was the new kid, over five years ago
And it's never left me
Since I was twelve years old
I made friends, lost friends, dated a whole bunch
But my happiness was never
Up to code
Never up to standard

Falling in love is something people do

But only on days that don't end with y

And only on mornings when the sun doesn't rise

Only when the moon reaches its highest point in the sky

That is when people fall in love and take a trip

Quite a dive
