it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fade. I'm waiting until you become dust all for a more prominent ribcage and to be able to cut diamonds with your collarbones. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you cry in front of your reflection. your pain is never beautiful but your soul always will be. you always were. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you die. you were always so fragile, so delicate. I fear you might snap when I try to hug you close, with your bones digging into my arms. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fight. although, it's not so much of a fight when you're too tired to and the winner is guaranteed and you never wanted to win anyway.

my dad, on his anorexic daughter
it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fade. I'm waiting until you become dust all for a more prominent ribcage and to be able to cut diamonds with your collarbones. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you cry in front of your reflection. your pain is never beautiful but your soul always will be. you always were. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you die. you were always so fragile, so delicate. I fear you might snap when I try to hug you close, with your bones digging into my arms. it's the hardest thing in the world, watching you fight. although, it's not so much of a fight when you're too tired to and the winner is guaranteed and you never wanted to win anyway.
