emotionally anorexic

I crave emotion like I crave pizza

But I can't have it

I can't let myself devour every ounce of love that comes my way

I can't become dependent on the infamous L word that has broken me

I'm emotionally anorexic,

But sometimes I'm bulimic

Sometimes I'll hunt down my prey, and **** them dry of their love

I'll crave it until I'm stuffed full, and then I'll purge it out

I'll tell them I hate them,

I'll tell them to leave forever

I'll push them away until I'm broken and sad and alone

And anorexic again

Until I'm back where I belong, in the corner of my room

Crying, sobbing, craving affection, but not letting myself have it

Because I don't want to be fat with lust

I can't gain a single pound because if I do

I'll be weak.
