Stood by the fridge
Emptiness growing
Plotting and scheming
Because it’s so bad what we do
It’s so wrong
To deceive like I do
I stand there going back
And forth
And logic says
Eat
Everything else says
Reign it in
Hold it back
Save it up
And what’s the point anyway
I’ll live anyway
The noises that make me jump
Get louder when I’m hungry
And I soften when I’m hit
I don’t harden
So I sit there at the dining table
Melted like the ice cream
That’s easy to get rid of
Once I’ve had too much
Smooth and quick and quiet
I deceive
So I can control what you perceive
I’m scared of all of them now
The numbers aren’t boundaries anymore
They blur into how small can I make them
How small can I be
I never was good at endurance sport
But starving
It’s good at deceiving me
