My treasured friend
My night time companion--so many battles fought
I think I would hug you
If I were not crippled in heap
Glued to the floor as I sweat profusely
(And yet I am cold:so cold)
I must stay near you
At all hours of the night; this evening
Near your porcelain feet
Dew condenses on your alabaster skin
(I should not know this:I should be asleep)
So many memories
Late nights marked by tied back hair
And empty bellies
But we are not hungry
I periodically pull myself upright
Just to lean on you
(You never pull away:I know I am repulsive)
You never utter a word
You simply sit--waiting
Even when I can't tell up from down
I know you will still be there
When the 24 hour flu takes hold
Or the week long version
At least I know you are right there
(heaven help me when I go off to college:I don't want to
touch those floors)
Author notes
this is so FUN
Sincerely--#11
Yes, well, what can I say--I was inspired. My toilet and I have been through many bouts of special stomach viruses (I did cheat on it once when I was overseas and ate some bad chicken. I was forgiven, though)
I can't believe I just made a waste collection unit romantic...I am so twisted...
Much Love

I'm not sure about the "and yet I am cold" line. That struck me as cliched, and the tone from the start doesn't deserve cliche, you know? I think you might have taken the contest title a little more literally than we had intended. Though eating disorders can be raw as well. Here, though, it's mostly a matter of clean writing. You have some lines that strike me as too "diary-ish" and less refined. Lots of telling going on, but not enough images to back up the story. The last two lines are fantastic, though. Now THAT's what I'm talking about. The emotions are implied, but still very strong. Thanks for entering

I adore the title.
For a moment I forgot it was about a toilet, and I thought it was gorgeous.
Then I remembered,
And laughed.
And laughed.
This is excellent!
If you are twisted (which you are
) then it's in a very, very good way!

Got it! thank you (hadn't noticed the typos in the initial spirited typing. I about had a stroke when I saw the option, I was so excited...I may need help)
Much Love.

Thank you for your contest submission as well as for following the rules. Oh mine! Oh mine Oh mine oh MINE!
I will never see a comode in the same light again! A wonderful persective, perfect for your chosen option. It flows fairly well but I do encourage a breif review for spelling and grammar. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

How sweet the bond you have with your loo
It is hard to believe you could have cheated on such a darling
Loved the imagination that only a toilet could inspire.
Best wishes to you in the contest.
