Emotional Eating

Replace the face of disappointment
With calories and fat
Fill my stomach with sugar
So I can't feel the giant crack
In my heart, that's wasting me away
Slowing chewing through
The I Love Yous that you say
Open my mouth, ready for more
Consume or be consumed
Stuff me like a w***e
Or let the breakage completely eat me whole
And I know I'm being selfish, hiding away
Your love and caring that I stole
I tore you up and tore me too
Broke a bottle, took the sharp edges
Until it turned crystal and I threw
It away because anything close
To perfect must be a curse around me
Maybe I'll take another dose
Of my drifting lifting meds
Tell me why I'm here
And why I'm not dead

Just wanted to let you know that I know how this feels and I admire the strength it takes to put this into words.
