'Marine you have to eat something'
She felt tears well up in her eyes
'Marine please, just eat. Anything'
She shook her head at him
He sat beside her pulling her into his lap
It was then he noticed how bony she was
Pale
Skinny
Ill
How her collar bone jutted out of her flesh
Her rips sharp enough to cut
Her hair was brittle
'Marine. What are you doing to yourself?'
She let out a sob
'Why.'
She shook her head again
"Marine? Please."
