Why Do I Do This To Myself?

My eyes open reluctantly
Angry red and blurry
My tired body is incredulous
That I will even try to make it move

My once nimble fingers
Now fumble with the coffee filter
Got to get some caffeine in me
If I am going to make it to work

A quick hot shower and then
Blow dry the hair and comb it
Screw the make up, it's not gonna happen
Today they'll be lucky if I brush my teeth

Mindless as a zombie
I make my way down the interstate
When did everyone begin to drive like fools
Or maybe...it is just me

Another eight hours await me
Torturously long and inane
I go through the motions
Make my time to get my pay

Why do I do this to myself you may wonder
Easy... it's because of him
Up till 2 am every night
To spend one more minute with Jim
