Fading

Come, let's go on a little walk
We really need to talk
I've noticed that by the day
More and more of you fades away
And I think I know exactly why
So there's no need to hide, nor to deny
I just hope it isn't too late
But I see you like to push away your plate
For days, you haven't eaten a thing
And that must hurt, maybe even sting
I know you feel the emptiness within
But there is no need to become bone and skin
There is help out there, yes it's true 
I'm sorry if I haven't been that for you
But this is no way to express what you feel
Listen, if you stop now it can heal
Don't destroy what life gave
It isn't your body that I crave
But that's what you're inside 
And I'd be devastated if that died 
If only you had a hand that would feed
There is one part of you I need 
It's the part that loves me with no doubt
Your body is not what I care about
But it's what keeps you here
Please, care for it my dear
Eat something, it doesn't have to be meat
It can be veggies, or a tasty treat
You're worthy of treating yourself right 
Please, love what lays with me at night
