Why did you?

Why did you eat that last hot pocket
I saved that, That last donut perfectly glazed

Why did you eat that last piece
of steak?

Why did you eat all the noodles?
Don’t eat all the noodles,
do you use your noodle?

Why did you, my cousin, eat all the food from the bread to the ramen
noodles?

Why?
Why?
Can’t you stop, stop
eating until
you are fat from below to top.

I know you are older, and need more food but this has got too old.
Why the food that was gold,
has either been eaten or turned mold.

All food, hot or cold, never lasted a second against you.

Why?
Why didn’t you save any for me?
Why can’t there ever be any more for me?

A poem I had wrote to express myself during a time where my 18 year old cousin had lived with me, and had ate every bit of food I had saved up
