Pay the damn rent

Hey! Are you still here??
I thought I had kicked you out.
I only let you in
  because you came with such a
    huge advance
You didn’t mind the mess
  or the leaks in the roof
I said ‘take it as it is’
  and you said ‘I love it’
But now the rent is way past due
  and still you linger
    taking up space
      on my mental couch
You lounge in silence
  and I can’t relax
    thinking maybe if I mop the floor
      you’ll finally pay up
But those muddy bootprints
  you left on my soul
    keep rising to the surface
      with every wordless glance
You say the cost is too high
  that you don’t have the cash
    well, that sounds like a YOU problem
The lease was clear
  conditions were not met
    now I need that space
      so I can breathe
