The Bathroom Floor

Iā€™m curled up on the bath room floor again.
The grooves in the stone tile digging into my cheek.
The tear soaked surface feels cold on my face.
I wonder if the Monster is sleeping.

How long has it been; minutes, hours?
My body stiff, my limbs heavy and tingling.
How am I even lying down in such a confined space?
I wonder if my babies are sleeping.

Holding my breath as the door creaks open.
Perspiration dips down the small of my back.
I can hear the rhythmic breathing coming from down the hall.
I wonder if I should be sleeping.
