look at me
look at me
I know that you’re not okay
I know that you are wilting away
so let me in
let me see
all the things you’ve never told me
so that I can help bring you back
from the part of you
that is under attack
watch my eyes
and watch my feet
together now-
you will relearn how to eat
all the food
that you turned away
and all the meals you refused to let stay
I can help you
we can leave
but together now
you have to concede.
body,
please,
forgive me.
