Ah, I'm famished!
Couldn't even finish my plate!
There's so much leftover!
Did I cook too much?
It's the fifth time it's happened this week!
What's going on?
I guess I bought too much.
I don't go outside too often anymore.
I find that it's so much simpler,
so much more efficient,
to buy everything in one trip!
Sometimes I buy too much,
but how can I stop,
when it's been saving me so much money!
Well I have been dieting recently...
If you can even call it dieting!
I haven't been controlling portions,
or eating healthier snacks,
It's a lot simpler than that!
I just forget to eat sometimes!
Sometimes breakfast, sometimes lunch,
Mostly dinner.
I've been so forgetful!
It could be the water and the wine!
I have been drinking so much!
Enough to fill a pool!
For every glass of wine, I drink 6 cups of water!
Yesterday, I drank 5 glasses,
how many cups of water did I drink?
I know you can do the math!
Maybe I need to get out more!
Work out, go on walks, meet my friends.
It's been a while since I've said “Hello!” to Mr. Sun.
All day I sit around my house,
watching television, moping around,
doing NOTHING.
No wonder I'm never hungry!
But we both know those aren't the real reasons, right?
That extra plateful of food,
It wasn't meant for me.
The plate was meant for you.
After all, it was your favourite meal.
You would always make it for us,
and order it at our favourite restaurant.
You always made me laugh with your stupid jokes
that you'd say with a mouthful of it, barely chewed.
Everytime we went shopping together,
you'd try and sneak the ingredients onto the cart.
But I always knew. I'm not an idiot.
And now you're gone.
Everytime I try to forget,
no matter what I do or drink
your shadow always makes me remember.
It always finds a way.
For every step I take to ignore it,
I am blown back tenfold.
You're gone.
You're gone and all I'm left with is
an empty seat, and a plateful of food.
