Annalee Pierce Poet Free verse

Rexie

You came to me 
In
My one moment of need
When I was most
Fragile
When I was at my most 
Weak
I was fourteen and all
Alone, left on broken, bloody
Ground
You held my hand till
I could
Breathe. I found shelter in my
Skeleton
Now I can't let you leave

Through thick and thin
Tough
Skin and brittle bones, when all
Else fails, still you
Remain
You built for me a refuge made
Of hungry, stretched-thin
Walls
And through the windows 
Of
My obsession, I've come
To like my sick corner of 
Earth
My upside-down lens makes light
Of logic's grimace,
Tilts it to a wicked smile

And I can't help but feel
Safe
In the arms of the
Disease that holds me tight
In what most would
Call
A chokehold
