//

one day,
ravished, the doll scarfed down the entire contents
of her fridge,
inhaling everything and anything that her small hands could touch
afterward, the doll cried
she called the monster and asked him to come over
“what’s wrong?” he asked,
when she let him in her apartment
“i’m scared” she replied, still crying
“what are you scared of?”
“being fat…i ate so much” she sobbed,
sinking to the floor
the monster didn’t say anything,
not sure what to say,
or sure of what to say
“i want to die” she said
the monster scowled at her
“i’m leaving”
“why?” she looked up, her porcelain face tear streaked
the monster looked away, avoiding her sad eyes
“you are not thinking rationally”
“please stay” she pleaded
the monster couldn’t resist her sad eyes
“alright”
he comforted her as she crouched on the floor,
resisting the urge to purge
he felt helpless
as she dealt with the demons inside of her
