In Your Bones.

In Your Bones.

A Poem by lioness
"

Simple prose revolving around eating disorders.

"

Violet skies are unforgotten, you will never let me forget. Ceasinglessly, i love these young women who posess diet pills as lucky charms, and bones as best friends.Two years ago, i never could have relinquished my thought processes; the same goes for now.

I write of them, dream of them, wish only for them to be her, beside me, concrete proof that perhaps i haven't made myself up within my own wishfull thinking.

They are my replacements for cocaine, whiskey, and money for sex.They help me forget wishes of angel wings.

Some nightmares are for you.Because you are beautiful, and i worry.For your bones that you hope to never lose, and sanity you never had.

This hunger defines you and I both.

...

 

In a place where we live for the shadows, the concaves of a beautiful emaciated body, one only few could see as breathtaking in the same ideal.
[Valleys & ridges, I don’t want to hear this.]
Where feeling are evoked by a simple word, even jokingly.
By lack of love, of conversations in the empty night.

In a world of mirrors and measures.
Horror and macabre.

Only whispers of nighttime, wind that isn’t even chilled- though feels so-, and heavy blankets surround me now.
[Broken and bruised, left shattered and used.]

In others worlds’, the shadows run from themselves.
In ours, yours, and mine, we both run from them and for them.

“Hello, my name is…”
[NamelessSexlessSinlessLoveless]
“Hello, my name is. Hello. My name. Hello.”

Southern drawl, pure JAP, debutante smiled.
Knife wielding, toilet mouthed, cat tongued.

Skinnier than anyone I know.
And always, always right?

[Indeed.]

But she’s also panicked, stressed, fragile.
But still, my queen: ruler of the land of shadows.

My life.
My only.

If you believe that it's scrambled, with incoherant thought process- it's supposed to be. Eating disorders are senseless, so is this.

I really like this. I can see the pain and war with a person's insides or the outside world. However, you wish to take it. Since the interpretations are quite wide. Any who... I really like the writing style. In its own way it is very beautiful.

I prefer to live alone, rather than with a bunch of people. Maybe one other person who doesn't mind pressing themselves against me while I sleep; other than that, it's excess. I put a song on repeat .. more..
