White Dust
I know she's
In the bathroom stall
Letting the magic dust
Work it's way to her dreams
And she comes out
Her laugh airy
Her windows meet mine
And she halts
Her smile fades
Her laugh stops
And she sniffs the dust and snot
Back into her happy place
I take a step towards her
Eyes wet
With knowing
And she takes a step back
And collapses
Against the concrete
She sits and let's her sadness
Drip down her nose
Her eyes
And her mouth
Speaks of her past in one blurr
Stuttering
I don't even know her
But comfort her I do
And I take
The white dust
In the bag from her hand
And toss it down the toilet
I whisper it's done
All gone
And that she needed to pull herself together
And leave
She whips out her cell
Phones for a woman on the other side
And I leave the bathroom
Thinking maybe something broke tonight
