I thought I’d starve myself for you
Shrink myself to accommodate you
But I ended up with a body
As loud, vast and soft
As my huge heart.
And if you couldn’t accept one
You could never accept the other.
The only thing I was starved of
Was love and affection
And this hunger
This primordial thirst
Was something you could never quench on empty promises
And fierce looks
And the more I shrunk
The tinier I got
The emptier I got
The hungrier I got
