Conflict
Morning arrives, strident and shrill
First the alarm sounds loud as a bell
Then she starts; Really? Take a chill pill!
Why not 'Good Morning, did you sleep well?'
Far too early for in-depth interrogation
Twenty questions about being late home
Need the UN Peace-keepers' delegation
Yes, a few beers, no, I didn't drive, drone ... drone..
Constant and incessant the verbal barrage is
Prodding and probing, seeking to catch me out
Until with a bang the front door closes. Bliss..
Did I sign up for this? Is this what it's all about?
When did togetherness and friendship disappear?
Are we so blinded by our separated scenes
That we cannot find time to shed a tear
Spend energy on building bridges between
Rather than garner this destructive force
Driving wedges in deep, prising us apart
When did this all begin, remind me please
Which moment in time, just how did it start?
Questions whirling around. I beg you to cease
Right now I've a mother of a hangover to quell.

I can feel a lot of needed venting went into this one - she may of not realised how naggy she was being? - hope the rest of your day off went well

Yes, my day went quietly and peacefully. The inspiration was a quiet evening the previous night due to partner's late arrival home and still with work related 'stuff' to complete so stressed and non-communicative.

Thanks HJ; Sadly you're so right. We become so fixed on the 'important' stuff; work, money etc that we actually do forget the truly important things like living life, family, love and just feeling it.
