I can't Eat

By: Dakota Coyle

I'm not hungry so I don’t eat

My first not relationship ate too much

And I tried to tell them to stop

They didn’t and then forced me to be their meal 

Soon I told them it was wrong 

And when I felt like what I cooked wasn’t enough, I left

 

I'm hungry but I can't eat

My first relationship said I ate to little

And at first they liked it

No crumbs to deal with when not a single bite was taken

Soon they began to tell me it was wrong 

And when they felt like what they cooked wasn't enough, they left

 

I’m hungry and so I eat

My second relationship said I ate too much

And at first they liked it

After being told that not eating was wrong I became insatiable

Soon they began to tell me I was eating them away

And when they felt like what they cooked wasn't enough, they left

 

Here I am looking at a perfectly good plate of food in front of me

And when they feel like what they cook isn’t enough I know they will leave 

So I cook for myself and sit down at the table

I’m starving but I can’t eat
