life

I got home

It was late

How late

I did not check

I was tired

And defeated

Threw the bag

And the keys

On the verge of shouting

But I did not

Loosened up the tie

Into the kitchen

The food was warm

But the appetite had died

Took a beer from the fridge

Sat on the couch

Surfing channels

Mind in a tizz

All kinds of thought

Roaming in the midst

So shattered and broken

Luck, had I any

I wondered

So pathetic and meek

Slipped into my shorts

Beer half done

Left beside the couch

I slowly got into the bed

As a tear 

almost dropped out

I twisted and turned

And turned again

Life's all shit

That's what a felt

Suddenly a hand

On my head

I turned to see her awake

She smiled and kissed

As I hugged her back

That's when I realized

Life's not the one

I'm battling 9 to 5

It's in these moments

These little moments
