My shoes

Ragged
Like me
Torn up
I see

Once white
Gray now
Beautiful
I wonder how

Untied laces
Match sad faces

Heart on the toe
Fit me just so

Duct tape is shiny
Laces drape over the grimy
Converse star

Promises me
They've walked far

I love them
It's true
I only wish
They'd walk ay away from you
