Starve, Binge, Purge, Repeat

by Jenni Marie   Jun 2, 2008


Yesterday just a small slice of toast
But haven't had anything at all today
Thought that I was finally beating you
Now my morals have begun to sway

Slowly but surely I was getting better
Only now you're back inside my head
Do you realize how exhausting it is
Replaying all the spiteful things said?

We used to the very best of friends
You yelled when I wanted my own way
Immediately you became so much stricter
And demanded that I must always obey

Tried so hard to take my leave of you
Really thought I was about to succeed
Only then you took my self control away
Reminding me of over indulgence and greed

And just like that you have control again
Alternating it constantly between you and Mia
Feeling so run down and drained all the time
Hair flat, face pale and throat always on fire

For if I disobey your order's you hand me over
Gleefully watching Mia take me and have control
Standing over that porcelain sink every single day
Between you you're slowly ripping apart my soul

And now even the smallest pieces of food
Are now so difficult to eat and digest
Friends have slowly drifted away from me
Ana, Mia...seems you're all that I have left

So please, take me under your wing again
promise to follow your rules every day
Exercise for hours on end without complaint
Whatever you wish, swear that I'll obey

Know that in the past I've been so very weak
This time I consent to do things your way
The one and only thing that will matter to me
Is that number on the scales each day
