There's so much anger and sadness here,- I'd like to know a little more about the source. Who are you talking to? What have they done...or haven't done? If you can find a way to give the reader some reference, as to why you're feeling this way, I think it would help make this piece more relevant.
How alone I’ve been?
How alone I am?
Even when you’re home?
Rocking on the bathroom floor- I'd rework these first two lines, or reverse the order
Back and forth back and forth
Manic laughter primal sobs
I WATCHED myself lose it - sounds like a dissociative episode-- as if you were out of your body, seeing this happen
Don’t you THINK I know?
How bad it is?
How far I’ve fallen?
Everything I’ve lost?
Grieving into the silence
Screaming myself numb
My toes were frozen on the tile
I SAW my crazy eyes reflected
Who the hell was there?
Whose arms wrapped tightly
Around my shoulder blades
In the dark at 3am?
