You were my world
My first bf, my first love
You showered me with compliments
Then tore me down
You said you loved me
And said I wasn't good enough
You adored my body
And wanted me to be skinnier

I believed it all
The truth and the lies
I took it to heart
Worked hard to stay yours 
Starving myself to make you want me

I got smaller
You wanted more
More weight gone
More touching

I gave in
Wanting to be loved

This is about my first real boyfriend, I put my whole life at risk by being so innocent and naive and this was the beginning of a downward spiral towards anorexia
