You sit there in that sterile room and they are all dead. All dead behind the eyes. Like their heart beats to preserve just skin and bone. Nothing else. And they move from the chair to the bed to the scales. Compliant. Walking shells. There is nothing there. There is nothing there because they want to fade out. Carcasses who wait. Like carcasses who wait in the hope that one glorious day someone will be able to breath life back into what little remains. But they are dead behind the eyes. And life is so far out. Their life is too far out. Whilst the robot in their mind repeats their mantra; you are not ill you are not worthy. And reason dictates the only way to cure this is to eat less. Shrinking bodies keep the decaying mind occupied until sanity can be placed neatly away. Pushed so far back. And you can sit for hours in that room. Repeating empty words into deaf ears. There is no light. Merely nods of abandonment or agreement designed purely to pacify. For she is master in her own universe where you are not invited to play. And you walk quietly away. Knowing each step takes you no further than she has already gone. Then a tear. For the girls the girl in that room. Weeping at the loss of a soul you once knew lived and breathed alight with possibilities now carved into a shadow. And she is dead. Behind the eyes. |
