heroin, she said, luminous poison
the bite of the pretty needle to
purge my crazed hypothermia.
tragic stars craving lovely candycanes
dance the waltz on my eyelids
glittery gorgeous, cavorting
cocaine nymphomania, this destructive homicide -
i find myself in
profound horror of the melancholy marionette
her porcelain face cracked
this, i fear, is not an hallucination, but reality
My reality, my face cracked
the pretty peeling away as i
ignite this insane impulse.
nicotine stained fingers dangling
from the gurney i hinder,
turning round and round this
sterile corridor, sterile dolls with
candy-coated pills induce anorexic shock
she moans in despair
what led me here?
life and luck have fled
and i'm left just a rat in my cage.
a deformed pin up girl -
a pyro out of matches -
an impulsive and enslaved bulimic,
crying on the bathroom floor...
Author notes
i miss her.

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THIS GET GOLD???
That seriously angers me that this didn't get gold. This is an amazing piece that you've written here... I would keep on submitting this in contests until you get a gold... Then when you do, let me know!!!
Anyways, for the comment:
I can relate to this really well because I spent a short amount of time (approximatley 5 weeks) in a mental hospital (not for an ED, but for attempted suicide) and it was alot like what you are describing... I also suffer from anorexia and bulemia, so this poem really hit home... It was truly amazing. I really like this stanza:
life and luck have fled
and i'm left just a rat in my cage.
a deformed pin up girl -
a pyro out of matches -
an impulsive and enslaved bulimic,
crying on the bathroom floor...
a pyro out of matches... That's art right there my love... Great job. Keep up the good work!

Thank you... That induced coma that you have put me in is fascinating from the inside, though it's a little dark in here, the rest of the view is perfect
Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful feeling in this. It almost makes me feel as if i have done these things, even though i never have.
