Mary

Thank you for inviting me here,

Everything looks lovely.
Your parents are the best, dear

Life is so grand.

This meat is to tasty, so tender.

Must not have more than three bites though.

I'll have a few more green beans,

No, I really am quite full.

Excuse me for a moment,

Be back in a second.

I need to be alone for a while.

Pardon me.

The mirror is stained and my vision is blurry

And my old friend greets me again.

Staring back into the eyes of an angel

who's fallen, fallen again.

I wish I were a princess,

So fair and so thin.

Instead of feeling feeble from

Losing weight again.

Why am I doing this to myself

What am I doing this for

Why do I do this to myself

Who am I doing this for

I wish I were prettier

I wish I were thinner

Time to dry my eyes now,

my food's getting cold.

Lies

It's my fault.

I don't deserve better

I deserve to be treated this way.

I don't care how long you are gone.

I understand that you cannot be faithful.

It's my fault.
These are tears of happiness.
My makeup covers the bruise.

You didn't mean to do it.

I sometimes make you hit me.

It's my fault.
I think you are a good spouse.
I feel safe with you.
I don't want to run away from you.

This is where I belong.
