I'm drowning in a sea of my own despair.
Sinking further and further from bitter air.
As the cold begins to settle into my skin,
I remember what once has been.

I feel your hand as it grasps at my leg,
but you don't even hear me beg.
You pull me even deeper down,
but whisper "Darling, I'd never let you drown."
I think I could make this one better with a little help

Can
you

let
me
forget
you?
This is dumb, I know

I lied.
I'm not doing fine.
I need you here with me,
but I just can't see
why you won't stay.
Am I in the way
of your greater plan?
But my love for you still spans
over the entire earth.
Can I share your mirth?
I'm sinking in my depression,
but you haven't learned your lesson.
I don't know what to do
since you can't see us through.
So for now I just give up.
I know this *****, but I needed to vent.

Five steps behind me.
I run but can't get away.
Please, leave me alone.
About a nightmare I had..

I'm through with love,
                        it's too gentle for me.
Too gentle meaning I dislike the sticky sweetness of it all. I don't want that.

Denial.
I don't have a problem.
Of course I eat every day.

Refusal.
I don't need your help.
I eat enough to get by.

Ignorance.
This isn't a real disorder.
I can't bring myself to eat.

Pain.
I do need your help.
I haven't eaten a thing in weeks.

Ignored.
Please help me.
I think I'm dying.

Starved.
I asked for your help,
but it's too late now.
