Control

Demon in my bones,
Slowly oozing, leeching strength
Acid burning in my throat; bile rising
Hands tremble, nails purple
I'm
So cold...

Tired skin stretched
Paper-thin over brittle bones
Glazed, staring eyes
Sunk in sockets cavernous
As the soul
They reflect
Nothing left save the drive,
The demon
The slavemaster
The fiend
The friend
Comforting with control
Control my body
Control my mind
Control my life...

Anorexia, you're killing me.
