Fragility

My shoes give my feet no support
Aching toes and soles
A new pair would remedy
But i can't yet, let these go

I may be tossed out the same
No tread on the bottom
Worn down
Muttered dogs start barkin'

Awake when i need to sleep
Too much sleep when i need to wake

I never realize how alone i am
Until you're not in my day

All this time to myself
All this time missing you

With aching soles and throbbing toes
.....i think i need new shoes
