Adequate Shelves

There's not much space here in our domicile

Our limited storage has taken your mind

Once you were vibrant and full of ideas

I was so taken by your artistry

Then anytime inspiration would strike

You'd let the mundanities of life slide

Now you feel inundated by our lot

I try to engage you but all you can say is

Adequate Shelves

I've seen you suffer fixations before

Plunging your energy into one goal

This time is different, it worries me love

It seems you've lost sight of all you hold dear for

Adequate Shelves

Adequate Shelves

A place for everything

And everything in it's place

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

I suppose home decor is

A creative pursuit

But honey you're taking the notion a little too far

Don't you think

You've entered the pupae a butterfly

and come out a worm

This metamorphosis disturbs me

I used to come home to your joyous embrace

The beautiful music we made was divine

You whispered the naughtiest words in my ear

But when I lean closer now you just murmur

What can I do

To bring you back

I've tried reasoning

I haven't tried everything

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

So much for lingerie chocolate and jewels

Since your notion of Swedish porn's been revised

I'll bite the bullet attempt to provide
