When my fake friends
When my fake friends weren’t looking and I felt lonely
I would hug a loaf of bread like the softest teddy bear
I would try to consume more chocolate than oxygen
I would attempt to drink enough soda to fill a large truck
I would sleep in cotton candy and wake up in buttercream
When my fake friends called me a pig in a dress
I would eat an almond and feel guilty about it
I would have a piece of lettuce and call it a banquet
I would look in the mirror and see a desperate whale
I would stick my finger down my throat until I felt I had no organs
When my fake friends saw me as a corpse they were too quiet
They wouldn’t call me a cow or throw me a sandwich
They wouldn’t call me a toothpick in heels or a wire with eyes
They wouldn´t pretend to see my breasts with a magnifying glass
They wouldn't even talk about food and make me listen
Because corpses don’t need food, but corpses are still lonely
