Day breaks
Alarm goes off
He rolls off, grunting
She climbs out, unsmiling
He leaves for the day
She leaves for the day
Night falls
He climbs into bed
She rolls into her corner
He looks silently at her cold back for a few seconds,
and heaves over closer to the edge
His eyes remain open
Her eyes remain open
He thinks
She thinks
“Why do I even bother at all,” he thinks
“Why do I even bother at all,” she thinks
“She thinks I’m weak and lazy, I’m sure,” he thinks
“He does not even care, I’m sure,” she thinks
“Why do I even care so much?” he thinks
“Why can’t he ever take out time from work for me?” she thinks
“Maybe I will find me a woman that appreciates my effort and strength,” he thinks
“Maybe I need a man who will be around to hold me, and tell me he loves me,” she thinks
The silent double one-sided conversation continues
No tête-à-têtes exchanged
Day breaks
The alarm goes off
He rolls off, grunting
She climbs out, unsmiling
He leaves for the day
She leaves for the day
Night falls
