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

New a girl once like that. She got over it. Whoever you write ABOUGHT should to. If it wasn't for coming up it would only go down.
