Footless Shoes

Oh footless shoes
You are left behind
Behind to tell the story of tragedies
To tell stories of pain and suffering

Oh footless shoes
You are without life
Can no longer tell of journeys you have travelled
Can no longer revisit the places you once treaded on

You mark a path of flowing sorrow
Of journey's never to be taken
The rain washes away your prints 
You are no longer there
