Eating Disorder Poetry

Alone?

dancing in circles
but dancing alone
won't find a partner
until i find bone

spinning for hours
just trying to be free
hiding for hours
to escape being me

i just can't reach out
to fill up this hole
i can do it alone
this is my role

when darkness surrounds me
and i can't see light
when i am just empty
and have lost my fight

when i know its enough
and i can barely stand
please don't go far
i may reach for your hand
