Darling

darling if I could get you to see
you affect not only yourself but me
you make yourself sick
and cry in your sleep
look in the mirror
and you won't eat
and your waist is much too small
baby you look so skeletal
and you say it's nothing at all
but it is to me
you have to go to the hospital
you said that you would eat tonight
but I got such a fright
when I turned on the light
you were lying on the floor
and it looked like
you weren't breathing anymore
