didn't think I'd see you again gluttonous girl face too full with food heart torn down by love you've done this before you've looked into the chasm one or the other man made in your heart and a slow-rolling ball of momentum began to pick up speed you can start with a biggie fry and a frosty and then a candy bar because it still hurts and you keep pushing more food into the hole chips, cheezits, a halfgallon of ice cream finally squirting the whipped cream straight into your mouth You buy M&M's because you like to suck on them, let the chocolate ooze over your tongue, but you think of him and you chew so fast and furiously that you reach into the bag and find it empty, without knowing how it got that way. You nurse a two-liter bottle of Coke the kind with the caffeine AND the sugar, until you fall into bed stuffed full and yet still empty, and you cry because no matter how much you eat you can't kill the pain. And in the morning, there will be McDonald's for breakfast, and then donuts if it still hurts.... |
