1. We admitted we were powerless over food—that our lives had become unmanageable. ~ Step 1 of Overeaters Anonymous

It once had life, had people,

but that was long ago.

Slowly and surely the inside,
the heart, rotted away,

taking with it the soul.

The shell remains,

and life could be infused.
Beauty survives,
but only if love abides.
