the ghost of my old self
she haunts me
she makes me remember
how it feels
to walk my numb fingertips
across my protruding ribs
to feel the satisfaction
of waking up to a sunken stomach
that dipped below my hip bones
to feel the tight grip
on my arm
that reached around
to feel the hollow
of my collarbones
and the safety it gave me
i remember it all
when she haunts me
the ghost of my old self
