Soap romance
'Hey, it's my turn to sing'We've been going round in circles for a while.
Maybe I've got the solution: with a bit of soap
it already looks less rough to me.
I know I'm not sweeping the corners properly.
It needs another go anyway.
We live in a real pigsty
but it's not in a near future
or anytime soon
that my heart will understand your reason.
When I clean up the house,
I switch off our issues.
My cleaning is all messed up.
So much time wasted.
Let me sweep the tears off the floor.
Things went wrong,
look where we stand now.
Plates are long broken.
We're quite good at deluding ourselves.
Our soap romance, our paperback story
we sure wrote it by ear.
We swank about a lot
until love beats us down.
My household is a wreck
and the sidewalk sparkles.
Let me mop the drama off the floor
and draw the curtains, would you?
They got quite a show,
the domestic squabble is over.
Too bad.

You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
