I am crying in the bathroom

*villanelle with borrowed line from sufjan stevens the great :]*



I am crying in the bathroom

On the floor at the great divide
speckled marble conquers cotton to cool my knees
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

Desperate to preserve your scent, I tried
the sterile lilac reflection was enough to freeze
on the floor at the great divide

The textbooks, the nurses, the doctors, they lied
my volume of tears belittles the grandest of seas
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

Now the door’s locked tight and I’m still inside
only the predictable linoleum sinks to witness my please
On the floor at the great divide
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
