Hunger Dysfunction

This might be a bad time to mention

(So soon?)

The clock is a little late

(It's already the afternoon)

The fridge empty

I haven't cleaned

Laundry on my bed

We have to do it here instead

I'll eat anything out a can

(I'll eat anything)

I'll even eat out your hand

Kettle boil, Kitchen sink

Knives in the drawer

Grab a spoon

Eat as much as you can

My hand rushed out to touch

It's still too hot

(why does it burn?)

The difference is you and me

I haven't had enough to eat

Mouths part, slightly sweet

My hand fumbles the drawer

Crumbs get between my teeth

That's one crunch louder than it's supposed to be

We have to stop

Why does it look like that?

(like vomit)

You stir it with a spoon

Big feelings float to the top

You pulled out too soon

Now it's all over my lap

(Now it really looks like vomit)

I'm sorry you have to help me clean

(Not like this)

I'm sorry you didn't get your fill

The fridge empty but the hum still fills the room

(The light turns on too)

I haven't the courage to ask

(or even fix it)

So this will have to do.
