Description today, i don't hate myself enough
to deny the hungers for -

distractions
a cup of coffee that will treat me like sin dancing to the pulse of my bloodstream
food
the absence of guilt
cracks in personality
screaming poems silently at my reflection
silence

today, i will gorge
on the things i vowed to give up.

today, i will break vows.

today, i am a glutton
for relapse and binge cycles,
for starvation and changing reflections.

tomorrow, i will wish
i could be the skeleton that
hangs in my closet.

[ leave the tears where they lie,
take the fallen stars and ripped up wings,
do not regret spinning circles
around vices. ]
