Sorry, I'm late

I confessed on Pat's entry that I haven't written since quartine started. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and kiss depression goodbye. So, I decided to share an old poem that still feels relevant to me, and I would like to polish it. Any help would be appreciated.

She Is Worth It.


She wanted to make a home
with someone, 
for someone.
But he left before 
she bought the fuzzy living room rug.


Every piece she personalizes,
Every area she organizes,
Everything she customizes
is now for her.

I have been on a work overload for weeks now.  Sorry.

I took this poem to be a woman who was jilted by her husband.  I was a bit confused by the "to my sister" at the end.

Here's how I read the poem:

She Is Worth It.

But he left before she bought
the fuzzy livingroom rug.

Every piece she personalized.
Every area she organized.
Everything she customized
is now for her.

She wanted to make a home
with someone,
for someone.

Here's how I read it:  
A dreamy-eyed girl knew what she wanted.  A home with someone. So in her head, she was thinking about how she'd decorate the house.
The guy left, so she no longer created for him.  She fixed the house the way she wanted it.  

I like the use of repetition.  
I also like how Todd rearranged it because his version introduces the "he" at the beginning and closes with "someone". The middle one is about the girl's work. 
Todd kept the entire poem in past tense...

At the end, the yearning is still there.

I think the title is stronger if you have the 1st line starting with But....

Hey, you have another poem! Hooray!

Wow, such small changes made all the differences! I love it now. Thank you both so much. The past tense and rearranging really helped. I knew something was off, but I couldn’t figure out what. Moving the first three lines to the end really helped. Thank you so much.
