If I am consumed by food, maybe my heart will be spared

I eat, 

again and again.

chasing nothing but the action,

fear of boredom,

fear of what I’ll feel if I don’t eat.

 

I eat past the point of sickness,

I lay there and wait to consume again.

 

an odd form of torture,

a game I’ve played,

a million times before.
