Every day i see you,
Sitting in the corner of the bathroom against the wall.
Legs curled to your stomach,
Tears from your eyes slowly fall.
You stare off blankly into space,
Acting as if no one were there.
I wanna talk to you,
But im too scared.
Scared of how much resemblance i see of me in you,
And that just maybe those tears are contagious.
I stand there and watch u out of the corner of my eye,
Waiting patiently, and so anxious.
You wait so patiently for each moment,
Each moment to pass you by.
You sit there and wish your life away,
In every tear you cry.

I left the bathroom a while ago,
Came downstairs to gather my thoughts in my mind.
But dont worry it'll be ok,
I know as long as your here you'll be fine.
Wait right there,Im coming.
I decided its what i need to do.
I need to atleast reach out my hand,
And see if i can help you...

I'm coming...

What an ending, Shugah. A very emotional, tense piece, with a great ending. The meter, I admit, stumbled a bit, but I don't think that was what concerned you. Spilling out your emotion as you do so clearly here might have been.

Good to see you posting. I've missed ya.

I don't know what it is about your writing that always manages to touch me....I'm waiting for someone too...

I love this poem! It is so touching.
I especially like the line, " you sit there and wish your life away in every tear you cry." Very powerful.
Every time you help someone else out, you help yourself alittle more.
I don't know you but Im proud of you for wanting to help this girl. I hope you get the chance to talk to her.

Im so happy that so many people liked this. I havent been writing really and this was a write-as-i-go piece that i didnt really expect to get this much great feedback from Today i actually saw the girl again, she was sitting in the bathroom a different period than i normally see her and i tried talking to her but all i got out of her was shruggs and nods...Its ok b/c she agreed to see the school social worker who of course after leaving the girl in the bathroom and having her promise to stay put wasnt even  there...so i ended up telling my guidance counselor. I dont know what the turn out what but i hope she kept her word and i hope they were able to talk to her.
