She cries herself to sleep

One finger
Two
She's feeling worse make it three

Down her throat
She's gotten used to the burning
The violent shaking erupts through her body

She felt hungry again

Always so hungry

To be beautiful
She knew the cost

She cries herself to sleep

When you look upon her face you see a ghost
Her cheeks are sharp
Her eyes are shadowed
Her hair is brittle and weak

Her nails are cracked
But she thinks she is beautiful

She cries herself to sleep
The food won't go down

She's starving to death

She cries herself to sleep
