Array ( [sid] => 79679 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => what's left [time] => 2005-01-12 23:46:47 [hometext] => ~You can't mend this with those faulty hands, you've handed me the blade, turn away. You always turn away~ [bodytext] => everyone stop and stare
the small figure in the shadows
meegerly tasting what's left
the ashen food in her mouth
you've never seen such a site
the anorexic girl at lunchtime

look away it's not right
can't you see the fear in her eyes
everyone turns away
they think they understand
they believe they can comprehend the pain
but they can't
you can't

she's feeding on her disease
let her alone
leave her be
she's done nothing to you
you can't heal the agony

fix her meals
the hurt won't yeild
you're nothing
all of you
just stare
turn away you know
we all know you don't care

until she slipped with the blade
faulty hands on tender skin
the freshest cut
seeping in
to the blouse
she'll be fine without
without your help
you can't help

it's lunchtime all the time
every moment is plagued
by your stares
like you care
everyone knows
everyone knows that she's let go
to fixed meals
it's not a big deal
she'll just slip
slit her wrist
bleed through the disease
life ashen in her mouth
turn away
you always turn away [comments] => 2 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 55 [informant] => weepingprophet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
