DEAR ANA,

Am I pretty now?


I showed you my bones

and now they're breaking down.


You tore my skin in rage,

and made my heart small enough

to fit inside your cage.


Thinking for years,

that if I could disappear,

it would take away the fear

that is, very much, still here.


Now that I'm fading away

there's so much I need to say.

It's a shame

I never realised

how much I want to stay.
