***Torn Shoes***

And I would've stayed
if you would've asked me to.
Never would've blamed
all our misfortune on you.

Stood outside in the rain
as it poured down on me..
Watching your tears disappear
into the ground below my feet..

Head facing forward
but my eyes fixed on you
I tell my arms to let it go
but they don't know what to do

Never tried so hard to lose
a winning battle..
in your past lovers torn shoes....
