You're so beautiful, why can't you see that
I love it when we just sit down and chat
Why do you hate yourself so much
How did this disorder become your crutch
I wish I could say something to save you
You have never said "I love you too"
You don't listen to a word I say
In the end I know you'll get your way
You're going to die and I know you will
You can't live and starve yourself still
Your bones are there for all the world to see
I wish you knew the pain this causes me
Is it the body or soul that you wish to kill
I don't understand and perhaps never will
You can't possibly know how terrified I get
You're walking a highwire, below there's no net

Thank you do much for explaining it to me like that, it makes a lot of sense. I'm sorry that you went throught it, and lost someone to it.

Its an illness. Part of the illness if only being focused on being thin enough. Just dreaming. Obsessing. its not theuir fault. often they begin to hate everything ecause people care, but they believe peopleare trying o stop them from being happy. Because you cant be happy unless your thin. Sorry. Just had to explain that. Iv been anorexic, and had a friend die from it.

Thank you so much, and I sincerely hope that you fully recover.

Amazing! My word seriously. It's so hard to see people destroy themselves and insist on believing something we can clearly see is untrue. This is amazing.
-
True so many people don't see what they do to the ones that love them..if only they could see past thier own needs and see the pain they are causeing others they would wake up!
