I wish it mattered 

That you don’t miss the old me like I do 

I wish I was lying 

When I said that I want you

And I never asked for your whispers back 

But then again did I ever let them go 

And I wish that I hoped it wasn’t too late 

But I kind of like the way I know 

You’re here to stay 

It must be nice to be my sole trophy 

Knowing my soul is yours and yours only 

I hope you like the view from the passenger's seat 

It’s a one-way ticket to stain my memories 

With the bone dust of the ones that came before me 

Cause from the start 

It was till death do us part

CW: E*ting D*sorders 

 

This piece came from a very dark time in my life. I was in the beginnings of recovery from my eating disorder. I'm doing much better now, but I wanted to share this. These are real thoughts, felt by real people. Anyone living with them is a warrior, and they deserve compassion. And, maybe this isn't how someone's ED works, but they deserve compassion, too.
