More Than Skin Deep

I love you.
Undeniably its true.
Your beauty and the way you act,
The sparkle in your eye.
And it brings tears to the surface
When I think of how you once wanted to die.

But now it is a different pain
That plagues you every day.
You have no desire, you hate to eat.
It makes you sick you say.

You are beautiful.
Your body is amazing.
Can't you see what your doing?
That its a fantasy your chasing?

I know that no words I say,
Or things i do to show you
Will prove that eating food's okay
Or that you will just waste away
But I know you love me too.

So this is my dilemma
This deep embedded fear:
That you will just stop eating
And my pleading you wont hear.

    "Weekend Hugs"

    What a heartfelt and so sad write about the one you love. Society has placed such a burden on women making them think that they need to be a certain size to be beautiful. Beauty is only skin deep and comes from within. I will be praying that she listens to you, hopefully she will and seek some therapy for her eating disorder my sister had too and she is doing fine now and happy with the way she looks.

    Here is a from me to you, hope you have an amazing and blessed weekend.

    Theresa

    Good, your pain is clear. Very sad...

    Here in the UK there are people to help those in the throes of anorexia.. I guess you can only access them if you have insurance in the US... but there are books...
