Tonight, I saw a couple,
sitting  on the bus.  

They were holding hands
and looking at each other
in that way
that couples do.  

Looking at them...

you could just tell.

Afterwards, I saw
another couple on the train.

She sat sideways next to him,
her legs over his.  
They talked in low voices,
stealing little kisses from each other
during the pauses
in their whispers.

Looking at them...

you could just tell.

And I wonder
when you sit next to me,
your hand entwined in mine,
drinking your tea
and looking out the window

if someone were to
see MY face in that moment...

could they just tell?
I have always sympathized with the wrong people,
feeling worse for a killer than I do his victims.
It explains why I’m still able to love you and not myself.

I'm struggling because I think my eating disorder is getting better.
I mean I'm getting better at it, again.
I am not really hungry anymore.
I think it might be the change in scenery I am experiencing.
Enough food for me to binge on.
Enough bathrooms and privacy for me to purge in.
Enough sleeping medicine I can steal.
I think I'll be alright with this.
