The correlation between the idea of bite sized pieces, and the short length of the poem really won me over here. Its a great way to use form to add emphasis to your point, innovative in and of itself. Great work!

Oh God! Im cringing looking at the razor blade image on her mouth. Great choice there - so graphically supports the write. The imagery within is just as graphic - oooh.
What a phrase - 'Anorexic love' - so much implied in two words. Great wordsmithing JG
