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!”
