I am a hollow
human syringe
every night,
overflowing
with chemicals to make
your pulse race
your heart flutter
and your hormones surge.

To make you breathless
and tense.
Sobbing for air
in wordless
animal cries

To make you weep,
shoot up, purge
and fast
until your belly is empty
your body lean,
perfect, and photogenic.

To make you
paint your eyes with shadows
and smile, laugh, pose
perfect white tombstone teeth
for the camera
raised above your head.

and I still will not embrace you.

i like it. (:

Maybe I am arrogant
but I am also right, sometimes.

And some of it is good poetry, but there is not enough of it.

[The Judged Book]

This is a real nice poem..
Good way of depicting anorexia, or belemia.

To be honest, the reason I sought out your poem is because of the arrogant comment you left as a description.

Good job though.
