Erika

by ashley   Aug 5, 2004


Slowly i watch her die.
As i continue to cry.
She looks in a mirror.
I can see her tears.
Maybe it was a mistake.
Maybe this is all fake.
I try to tell myself this is a lie.
But sadly i think Erika's saying bye.
I knew she was skinny.
But, we never brought up the fact, that maybe she just could be...bulimic
I just never had it in me.
She was always sick.
Off to the doctor's to get a prick.
Put it was all one big trick.
First it was just a joke.
Just a funny little hoax.
She welting from the inside out.
Eating so much and amazed how.
Then Erika would take a trip...
To the bathroom and suddenly felt sick.
I look back and see it now.
I still sit down and think "wow."
The signs were so obvious.
Right in my face.
I could of saved Erika.
But now its too late.

    its not 100% true. Its what could happen. My friend erika is/ was bulimic. I guess i was just scared of the possibilites if it got out of control.
