Her cheeks full of nothingness
Hair so fine and light
Her skin ashen white
Body thin and frail
He says she's beautiful
He says he loves her
The way her eyes are sad
And her dress is stained
Her energy is always drained
And she has killer-long nails
She's horrible and insane
He can't help himself
She moves like a snake
And dances in the rain
Alone at night, asleep
Quiet and utterly arcane
Inside her little head
She stays from the world
In her mess of webs
And sticky red lakes
She avoids the sun
Loves misty days
Rarely she does smile
In her melancholy ways
But
He says he's in love

I'm not sure what aspect this poem is trying to consume, whether it is the idea of depression or an eating disorder, maybe both. The language techniques were nice. Thank you for entering and good luck.
