A Man and A Woman - II

A Man and A Woman - II
~Stress~

Long day, home from work
Success chased to exhaustion;
She with mindless tasks to do,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
He in recliner with mindless ease
Drinks beer, slowly grows rounder.

Decades pass until one day
Heart's revenge, full measure paid.

Long day, home from work
Successfully exhausted;
With decades ahead
Still does mindless tasks,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
With day's final act folds stress away

Alone.
