You do not understand

I work twenty four hours a day

Yet you, yes you
Think it is not enough

You irritated by draps of cloth on the floor, laying for decades

Shelves filled fuzzy grime and smears of water glistening on the hardwood floor

Use me like a dog to declutter your disorder

Yet you, yes you

Wonder why my piles of papers keep adding

And the files of our past keep leaving

Remember our fluttering moments of joy

Now constant monotonous thoughts and actions

Its you, yes you

Yet you, yes you

Are a permanent leaf within my tree of life

Which I wish would decay over time
