Bulimia Poem by Tamsin Burnett

Bulimia

Rating: 5.0


Hello there trusted stranger with all your trusted lies,
forgotten hope and shattered dreams trickle from my eyes.
I need your knawing comfort there to help me through the day
to let me know your always there, no matter what they say

I harbour you in secret i feel i know you well
i turn to you to make it right when heaven turns to hell.
you have a cold grip on my heart and whispers for my pain
telling me that hopes and dreams might all be in vain.

Your troubles come from being fat, your forgotten and alone
your friends are with the skinny ones, says your sugered tone.
Think how many calories your destined to get fat
you'll never get lovers or friends if you look like that.

My heart is caught up in your web, like a dragonfly
to weak and helpless now to fly from your accusing eye.
Do your disires really lie in leaveing me right here?
Only i can guarantee fatness is no fear.

our relationships so comforting, so steady and so deep
yet i i find you unjustly harsh, you often make me weep.
I see the confusion in friends eyes as i explain your ways
they just can not understand the complexity of our days.

It would be cruel and unfair to ask them for thier time
its not thier problem after all but mine to deal with, mine.
I want a life thats free from all the guilt of food
candle lit dinners after all are how some woman are wooed.
