My peanut butter eyes on caramel silk skin.
Butterflies flutter—folding in and famished—
beating and bowing before my bile-slick stomach.
Flirting with my heart—an empty love, lost and lame.
Pupils glued to my toes,
a sight caught in the corner of my vision—
bleeding blurry.
Fain to find myself blighted thin.
Shadows march through my veins—
......
I find skipping efficient, but I'm not talking about child's play.
The flavor looks bittersweet, yet I've tasted little in days.
Feeling light as a feather, but breeding worthwhile repercussions,
It takes perilous dedication to conceal the pain of perpetual hunger.
I find masks protective, but I'm not talking about immunity.
It lies at my bedside, recharging each night, telling others I'm doing all right in the daytime.
Isolation is serene, but I suffocate in contemplation.
I have yet to find even one who makes me fancy veracious authentication.
......
It's that uncomfortable feeling of being all alone,
Yet surrounded in a room full of people you know.
Except you don't know them, and they don't know you,
So you put on a new mask, and now you have two.
