Shoe's Lament

I'm still size six, Its you
that's grown too big.

For a year I cradled you like
a child. Now my leather's
tattered, my sole's burnt wild.

Every step you took forward you see,
Was an inch closer to oblivion for me.

The print you and I had left on the sand,
painted the end, now close at hand.

Now sitting on this coffin like rack, my
mind cannot help wander back
To the time when
I wasn't just another old shoe,
and meant the whole world to you.
