The first time Anakin said no to food, Obi-Wan didn't care to think anything of it
The second time it happened, Obi-Wan didn't seem to notice
When he found bloody bandages in the bathroom
He asked Anakin
Anakin told him he had injuries that were still healing
Obi-Wan believed him, so nothing more was said
When Anakin almost stopped eating altogether
Obi-Wan was too busy with the war to notice
Anakin knew this
Anakin grew aware of the fact that no one cared
So he continued
The late night trips to the bathroom
And the sound of puking
Obi-Wan ignored these
Hoping it was just illness
Obi-Wan noticed how gaunt Anakin's face had become
He noticed how Anakin's robes seemed to swallow his slight frame
After a fairly rough battle
Anakin had sustained injuries
Obi-Wan watched as Anakin was being treated
Hoping Anakin didn't see him in the shadows
He watched Anakin de-robe
Which exposed what Obi-Wan had missed
Anakin's slight frame had become bones
Ribs, hip bones, spine, and many scars
Obi-Wan realized what was going on
Anakin was sick
And he had ignored it
Obi-Wan cursed himself
Anakin had destroyed himself
And he had ignored it
Once Anakin had his injuries treated
He walked into the bathroom
Obi-Wan knew what he'd do, so he grabbed his arm
He held Anakin still
"No Anakin, not anymore."
He said
And Anakin looked away
"I'm sick master."
Obi-Wan held tighter
"This won't help you."
He said
And Anakin tried breaking free
"Let me go."
Obi-Wan kept holding on
"No, I've been far too blind for far too long, I'm sorry Anakin."
The next time Anakin tried denying food
Obi-Wan sat with him until Anakin had eaten
And the next time he found bloody tissues in the bathroom
Obi-Wan made sure to help Anakin wrap the wounds
And Anakin thanked him for caring
