I wonder if you'd want to know I named all of my demons after you And They haunt me in my sleep When I was 14 I fell asleep in April And dreamed of bones and I'm not sure I've really ever woken up Since When I lost 5 pounds I never saw a difference When I lost 10 pounds my mother said I was looking good When I lost 20 pounds I stopped drinking anything because I felt water had calories When I lost 30 my mother held me on her lap And held my bones together for me When I lost 35 started fainting every morning And The doctors could no longer easily find my Blood pressure When I lost 40 people started to stare And food made me cry When I lost 45 it hurt to walk and to lay down It hurt to eat It hurt to breathe and I started throwing up my empty Stomach The mind plays tricks on those that decide nourishment is not needed Eat.

Anorexic Dream
I wonder if you'd want to know I named all of my demons after you And They haunt me in my sleep When I was 14 I fell asleep in April And dreamed of bones and I'm not sure I've really ever woken up Since When I lost 5 pounds I never saw a difference When I lost 10 pounds my mother said I was looking good When I lost 20 pounds I stopped drinking anything because I felt water had calories When I lost 30 my mother held me on her lap And held my bones together for me When I lost 35 started fainting every morning And The doctors could no longer easily find my Blood pressure When I lost 40 people started to stare And food made me cry When I lost 45 it hurt to walk and to lay down It hurt to eat It hurt to breathe and I started throwing up my empty Stomach The mind plays tricks on those that decide nourishment is not needed Eat.
