• In the bathroom,
    I hide,
    Trying to nurse,
    Broken pride.

    My eyes are streaming,
    With hot salty tears,
    I close them,
    Trying to shut out the fear.

    My face is scarlet,
    Brimming with the sting of embarrassment,
    I hide it,
    To coward to face judgment.

    My legs are huddled against my body,
    Trying to bring shelter,
    Reassurance,
    But I know that won’t come till later .

    My arms are around my legs,
    Trying to bring them closer,
    And recapture the warmth,
    That was taken by that poser.

    In the bathroom,
    I try to pull through,
    The rejection I got,
    For saying I love you.
