⚠️TW: REFERENCES TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE⚠️

The shoes aren't shoes
There battered and bruised
Falling apart at the seams

The harsh concrete ripping to soles that hold the shoes together

Never the same
Never the ones

Overtime the battered shoes give in and crumble

This isn't about shoes

Shoes are a makeshift metaphor
The concrete isn't normal

The shoes so battered and broken by the hands of the concrete

Never the same
Never not the battered shoes.
