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.
