Wrong side of empty

Im on the wrong side of empty,
Gas light glaring at me unfriendly,
So much fuel consumed
Running on fumes.
My wallet confines a medley of tears,
My head dizzy with payments in arrears.
I glance at my daughter as I change gears.
Must not illustrate my fears.
She smiles at me with supper in her cheeks
I muster a grin though my stomach shrieks
Lady luck is AWOL and havoc wreaks,
Wishing Murphys law has hit its peak.
And when I lay her down for the night
With a smile so bright, as I tuck her in tight.
I lie, "Everything is alright",
Then repress emotion with all my might.
Im on the wrong side of empty,
Gas light glaring at me unfriendly,
So much fuel consumed
Running on fumes.

| Nice write, beautifully expressed, I can relate been in this situation many times.It's funny how your kids can be the source of the problem, they can be such a drain on resources, but they are what keep you going, make life so enjoyable and give you purpose. |

| I am indeed happy at finding this poem, the second of yours I have read today. Again, nice work, a situation we can all relate to at one time or another. Beautifully executed poem, well done. |
