Bathroom Stall

I clean up your room

I keep it nice for you, but I leave the light on

I let the bugs come inside where it’s warm

When you're not home

I can't keep track of you

I wait for a sign that you'll come home soon

And sometimes, I hear you call

From the moon or the roof or a bathroom stall

A place I don't question

A space with an ending

And we're never there too long

I can't decide

Do I feel you like I would if the house were on fire

And I'm taking a bath inside?

You'd be the ash in the water

And I'll be the bugs burning up in the light

Do you remember it like I do?

Your lips turned blue

I had my fingers in your mouth

And I couldn't get them out

Do you remember where you were?

Lying on your bed when I got off of work

You were breathing like a sinkhole

Sucking down the earth

Did you feel me like I feel you now?

Bite down

And stay down

And stay down

And stay down

And stay down

And stay down

And stay down

Stay down

Stay down

Stay down

Stay down

Stay down

Stay down
