Exhaustion tooks its course.
After a long day of work,
what could be worse?
No strength to exercise.
No strength to eat.
Just to lie here, in this warm bath.
Surrounded by bubbles instead of troubles.
I close my eyes,
one image, plagues me,
you and I  now apart.
I cannot say anymore.
Exhaustion just took its course.

This spoke so well of the exhaustion brought about by today's daily stresses. The bubble bath was the perfect response.

I relate to this well, from last night.  Just close your eyes - let the warm waters take it's tolls away, drawing you into an open space.  See the image, hold it close, for the distance space drawers closer into slumberland. I too was exhausted. LP

Excellent write.  True emotions dripping and bubbling from this literary tub.  

Only one thing bothering me:
"Exhaustion TOOKS its course."
sorry, it just stood out and said "why am i here?"
