I knew a girl
I once knew this girl
She had chubby thighs.
She had sad eyes.
She was a straight A student.
I once knew this girl
Her grades dropped to a C+.
She went from three meals to just one.
She had sad eyes but no longer chubby thighs.
I once knew this girl.
Her grades plummeted.
She went from one meal to just a few bites.
Mascara ran down her face.
I once knew this girl.
She is failing all of her classes.
She has not taken one bite.
She has empty eyes and skinny thighs.
I once knew this girl
Her nights got longer
Her time got shorter.
Her tears came quicker.
Her sleeves got longer.
Her body became smaller.
Her body covered in scars.
She was a stranger gone into the night.
