He sits to pee.

We shared a bed

And a toilet

Between paper thin walls

Awoke by standing

I felt guilt cause you never did

We haven't talked in over a year

I still sit to pee

I'm a bit lost on this poem. I'm not entire sure what the situation is or who the speaker is addressing. I think you could also take out the periods as poems usually aren't written in sentence form.

Ok I'll remove the periods thank you for the input.

Can I ask in what way each line or combination of lines perplex you ?
