When you said you did not want me
was it love that hurt or pride?

Like a near death experience all our ecstasy
flashed right before my eyes.

How could you not value our memories?
a treasure I only opened at night.

The town was asleep - at last I was lonely.
Now you would only be mine.

Oh how rich you made my singularity.
An injection to make me feel outright.

Your dark side only made us more lively.
As I wanted to win this fight.

Even though it bruised my soul and body
You were the air that made me sigh.

But you said you did not want me.

What did I lose?

Was it love or my pride?

i didn't feel large
until i saw the number
blinking back at me

nothing has changed
since yesterday, except
maybe a pound, two?

deep breaths
in through the nose
out through the mouth
you are healthy now
you are healthy now
you are beautiful
this is a good thing

my thighs touch
(this is a good thing)
the belt of my dress
is pressing
my stomach
(this is a good thing)

i didn't eat breakfast today
