Day Break

Day Break One day I came home from work A little early, a little tired It was my last day. I was fired. I called for my wife, “Honey, I’m home!” She must be bathing Things looked different in the house Something had really changed There was something missing It was everything including light bulbs I was getting too old for this Was it something that I said? Did she know about my job? I would like to look into myself into the mirror To find out who I am and what I've done But it was gone as well Honey left a note taped to the wall Where a refrigerator had been It simply read; “Drop dead.” “I’m leaving you.” “Thanks for the fun and furniture.” “It’s time for you to move on too…so…Moving on….Go!” Created on 9/10/14 for - Moving On – Poetry Contest
