ode to an old house

the wood trim may be beautiful
but my heart just isn't in it anymore
maybe it's the lack of sleep or
maybe all the sweat we've given it
probably, though, it's due to all of the water
that is now in our basement
the water heater gave and our carpet tiles suffered

my heart now belongs to the new construction
that may be awaiting us to the east
if only we make a killing on this beast
that we really do love
