The Bathroom Floor -------------------------------------------
Her breathing is shallow
And her heartbeat is fast..
And she's laying on the bathroom floor.
There are tears in her eyes
And a cry in her throat..
And she's laying on the bathroom floor.
Her hair is damp
And the towel under her is soaked..
And she's laying on the bathroom floor.
There's a phone in her hand
And she's dialing for help..
And she's laying on the bathroom floor.
~*~
Slowly
She picks herself up..
And screams as the pain rips her apart..
Slowly
She dries herself off..
And tries to breathe as her world starts to spin..
Slowly
She crawls into the living room
And collapses on the couch as her stomach turns over..
Her mother is frantic.
Her father is calm.
Her stepmother is rushing..
At the Urgent Care Center they take her right away..
In the lobby her stepmother opts to stay..
After needles and cups and an EKG..
They tell her "there's something you need to see"
They show her results..
Of an infection.
But her heart is fine..
Nothing negative to their detection..
