TW!!! EATING DISORDER
My mother scowls
My father laughs
My brother cries
My sister slowly dies
I, myself, just sigh
In through my nose
Out through my mouth, audibly
Watching as my sister tortures herself
She stares at her food blankly
Not eating even a single bite
Leaving me to wonder
When this phase will pass
She hasn't eaten in days
Not even playing with it
Never picking at it
I haven't processed why
So much that could save her life
All wasted in the trash can
So much that she actually needs
What she's doing is disgusting
It's been over a week since she last ate
Me, the only one to notice a thing
Her sad smile, her frown
Her rapidly depleting weight
She seems to be going now,
Just drifting away
The starvation catching up to her
Not on my watch!
She sets her head down
As if she's going to sleep
In a way, she might be
But this time, she might not wake up
I bring out my phone
Worry seeping in
As she seems to stop breathing
Calling 911
But, in my heart
I already know
It's too late
And it's all my fault
