Softly Shoe

   
I am writing this    
for you    
That's right    
it's a personal dedication    
like when the DJ    
reads out your name    
   
I can see you're   
cringing with embarrassment    
We can all see you    
sitting there at home  
all alone    
     
And may I take this opportunity    
of telling you    
how clever you are    
to have clicked on this poem    
but I do have a confession    
and also a request    
   
Did you hear something  
just then?     
It was only a window I'll bet    
   
Now whatever you do    
don't look over your shoulder    
not left or right    
That is correct    
Keep your eyes    
exactly where they are now    
     
There is no need to read    
the disclaimer    
at the bottom of the page    
no-one ever does    
They don't get that far    
so why should you    
be the first    
     
Don't try and get up    
you won't be able to    
See    
I brought my own rope    
but tell me    
where is it you keep     
your biggest    
sharpest blade?    
   
I'm sure I'll need it    
to finish the poem
