Weeks

My hollow arms
Pull the coffee to my lips.
Today was the start of
My second week without food.
Oh, this isn't the first time
I have done this.

No, I've lost track
Of how many times
I have sworn
Never to eat again.
I always manage to at least
Match my record.
Sometimes, I even
Beat myself by a day or two.

Its a very slow progression.
First, I was proud of 2 days,
Then 4; a week; two.
How many weeks will it take
Before I am perfect?

Welcome to my stream of consciousness. Welcome to my thoughts.
