Sitting Alone

Sitting alone in the dark and waiting. Will she understand when I tell her...when I try to explain? Probably she will, for she knows my weaknesses and my foibles. Than won't make it any easier to admit it, though, as I have been forced to do so many times in the past. I hear her in the driveway now. She'll open the door in the dark and know that something is wrong...again. She enters and tentatively says, "Honey, what's wrong? Why are you sitting in the dark like this?" Knowing that the sooner I admit my failings the better, I steel myself for the moment of truth and say, "Do you know where in the hell I put the fuses?"
