Purple Bathroom
Since August I’ve sat and reflected
On the times we’ve had in that space
The bathroom with purple walls connecting our rooms
Moments we would never be able to replace
More than a sister to me
A companion, my person, my best friend
16 years in that bathroom
Was the best time known to spend
Getting ready for the day, getting ready for the night
Each day was never the same
We laughed and cried, talked and danced
Our thoughts were never contained
What was once a lively room with light
Now quiet and dark on one side
Each day I walk in like we always used to
Yet now there’s more of a divide
Ever since we packed up your things
And moved you to another place
I can't help but think about
How I’ve permanently been replaced
You still share a space with other people
And do all the things we used to do
Be together, talk, bond, and laugh
Except I’m not the one there with you
Always there when I needed you most
Now I just hope you pick up the phone
I don’t want your light to be off
I don’t want to be alone
With you not here my life is dull
Full of loneliness and gloom
I want life to go back to the way it was
The joy behind the purple walls of our bathroom
