  I became anorexic today
just to become pretty to you;
softly the words turned blue
folding accross the
glass shaped boxes that impaired
my hearing to speak something worth memorizing.

  simply crucified; I wished I could become;
you handed me a rose thanking me
and I almost believed in you this time;
without fair warning
you kissed my lips goodnight.

  I don't think you had any idea
that your lips contained a poison
that killed the last breath out of me;
but I don't think you even cared
as injustice stared back into
my eyelids that just continued
to flicker back and forth.

  I caught the last thought holding me captive
almost at the same time that
my heart broke shattering
into thousands of pieces.

  at least I tried to
wish that the heavens above me
wouldn't be so cruel to me
as I prayed into a silence forgotten.
