Starving Together

Appetite

Starved for touch she was left with an aching her stomach empty, begging for mercy "please feed me." with no response, sleepless nights are met with tossing and turning, a unknown creature patiently waiting.
She wasnt worth eating, just skin and bones. Anxiously she paces through the halls, her eyes shut tight avoiding its glances, her brain was playing games, insanity was spreading. Trembling fingers slid along the wall searching for a light, she trips and falls.
"Poor thing, join me and you wont be so lonely...so hungry..." a voice barely a whisper sent shivers down her spine. Trying to flee talons reach through the darkness with wide eyes, and a parched mouth she tried to scream but no sound seemed to follow.
Frozen with fear the creature embraced her, feeling the bones that no longer had meat to protect her from danger, she silently wept, knowing that death would soon consume her.
"Im tired of being alone.." she whispered letting this creature hold her that aching for comfort was taking over, she welcomed death's bittersweet embrace no longer feeling hunger. It carried her to its home beneath the surface, like a delicate flower, gentle talons stroked her hair.
"Will you stay with me forever?" It spoke with an eagerness to eat away her pain, she let a smile answer for her before disappearing altogether.

I suffer from anorexia since a young age and after going through pregnancy things started taking a turn for the extreme and writing this piece wasn't easy to admit that if I can't get better I will die, or I go so far down the hole I commit suicide. I am working towards healing my body and I hope anyone else suffering from an eating disorder knows they are not suffering alone.
