Just Like an Old Shoe
Just Like an Old Shoe
I am worn and torn
from hard use.
I bear the scuff marks
of a life, lived.
I live alone, my partner
has long since disappeared.
I reside in a dark place
tossed into a corner.
I am no longer in style,
old and forgotten.
I will be discarded someday,
thrown out with the trash.
I am just like an old shoe,
good for nothing.
