Innocent On A Bathroom Floor

by Anaisthitos   Mar 17, 2009


Best title of the 3:
I Shouldn't be Here
OR
Innocent on a Bathroom Floor
OR
Looking for love (More or Less)
*********

I shouldn't be here
Naked on the bathroom floor
Innocent, vulnerable, pure,
Striped of the youth I once wore

I shouldn't be here
No, not here, not now
You've ruined what could be beautiful
Please, stand up, take a bow

I shouldn't be here
Not huddled next to you
Fighting with all the strength I have
Hold back tears, much overdue

I shouldn't be here
You say, "You said you would"
But yet I promised that I wouldn't
I no longer feel as though I should

No, I shouldn't be here
Looking for love at the wrong place
Stop examining my body
Look into my torn face

I shouldn't be here
Pretending to be brave
At my most vulnerable hour
I feel my dignity dig a grave

Please, I shouldn't be here
Violated and raped
I know just what you expect from me
But I know I can't partake

I swear, I shouldn't be here
Scared and abused
My whole life has been a blur
My mind nothing more then just confused

I shouldn't be here
I should be living my own life
Not that of which you want of me
Not in the midst of such a strife

Please tell me how to leave here
This is all one big mistake
Because I swear, I shouldn't be here
I know now, I am awake.
