Excuse me collarbones, 
but I don't know how it happened.

One day I was thin, the next I wasn't;
it started with a missing gap in the hazardous mirror
and my eyes travelled up to you,
except you were no longer there.

You're concealed from my eyes,
riddled with my pride,
and I can feel you beneath my skin
as you ache for my skin to s t r e t c h itself around you,
yet you're too weak to break through
the barrier of kilocalories.
