Losing For Him

Gurgle, gurgle
  Scrape, scrape
This is the test that I must take
All the lies
   And hiding good 
Keeps me skinny
   Sets the mood
One day I'll be perfect in his eys
   If I just drop one more size

At dinner time,
  They set my place
But all I do is rearrange
  Mix the carrots with the peas
Aren't you clean dear Mercedes?
 I clean my plate, 
Then puke it  up
  Brush my teeth, 
Say I'm stuffed.

Tearing models off the wall,
  Soon I'll be skinnier than them all..
I count my ribs, one more pair to go
  Soon I'll be the only girl he knows.
I do this for the boy I love
  But he's with that stupid ****.

She's so fat! I'm 94 pounds
 Maybe in tomorrow's round.
He's coming over!
  I can't breath!
Did my heart so suddenly leave?
  Blackness closes all around,
Every bone connects with ground.

                                                      DEATH.
