i can't get used to this

i've
narrowed down my
love
interests to one.
i've removed
the toxic people from
my life,
both siblings
and friends.
i've made
my bed.
i've swept the floor,
i've defrosted
the ice box, raked
the leaves,
cleaned the oven.
i've changed the locks
on the doors.
i've put flowers in a vase.
every picture
is rehung straight.
there's a fresh coat
of paint on the walls.
but now
i'm distraught.
i can't get used to
not living
in utter chaos.
