Innermost Nervosa, hollow out my bones

The struggle to understand
How purging sustenance from
the body
Cannot yet extract loneliness from
the psyche.
Make me whole again.
Who knew emptiness could feel like
Putting myself back together?
Break my brittle bones.
Who ever said loss wasn't power?
Starve me if it kills
The hunger in my heart
For a more pure self.
