The Hunger Games

She put a suicide note in my coat
She's in deep pain like the titanic
But I feel I can be her life boat
I can't respond to a death letter
So I put my feelings in this poem I wrote.
Sincerely I hope
You live with that deep quote

I know about the anorexia
How you force it through your throat

You and I at 17 
Played the broken social scene
While others laughed you were the only one who got what I mean

Though

Time stopped in 2010
You had  lost all your weight that's when
It cut me knowing I could never get you whole again.
