Aftermath

He doesn't know anything besides the envy he felt when her cigarette was pressed against her lips
Or how the covers press against her whole body and protects her, like he wanted to do
He longed to touch her soul like the sad music
Or maybe how the cold blade held her together more than he ever could 
He always hoped to be her alarm clock, the first thing she touched every morning 
He wanted to be the light she needed for her morning cigarette
But all he was were the ashes after it was all done

Don'T Tell Me

Don't tell me it's okay to eat when I'm still throwing up last nights meal
Don't tell me it's okay to eat because it's just a phase
Don't tell me it's okay to eat when I'd rather faint. 
Don't tell me it's okay to eat when I'm losing 5 pounds a week. 
Don't tell me it's okay to eat when I stay in bed so I don't eat 
Don't tell me it's okay to eat when I have a calorie counter in my head 
What're you gonna say when this kills me? It was okay for her to eat..
