i didn't mind you at first
you started small
and so did my physique
and we were okay with that
but a snack or two turned into a full on meal
and you started devouring me
i didn't know how to deal with it
so i let your perfume stain my body
and i let myself become aware of every curve on my body
small
sharp
and beautiful
then it all went wrong
and nothing was working
so i treated myself to junk food
once
twice
almost every time
for putting up with this
and then i got a bit bigger
and they came along
violent, dark reminders of what i became
and i couldn't tell
at which point i hated myself more
