Bathroom

A man is waiting outside of the bathroom for a girl he has been pursuing relentlessly. Her take.

Bathroom

Here in the bathroom

Phone in hand

Counting the time tick by

Scrolling through photos

Kisses and friends

I’m not alone, yet I

Sitting alone

What is this tightness

Where do I go

And how do I leave the

Safety of the bathroom

Safety inside

Teaching me to run and hide

Alone in the bathroom

No one to find

No one to hold me by

I am not here

And I am not there

Stop looking for me

Why am I scared to

Leave the bathroom and

Face the hall

Where predators lurk

And seek for fawns

When did I become

So helpless and meek 

And why has this man left me

Quaking my feet

And how do I leave the

Safety of the bathroom

Safety inside

Teaching me to run and hide
