An Old Shoe

In the dark of the night, when the moon rises high,

I remember her laughter, the way she would giggle then sigh.

Our love was suppose to last, that shows what I knew.

She cast me off, just like an old shoe.

She had me, heart and soul, like a warm fire on a cold night,

Every kiss, every touch, every smell, it felt so right.

I gave her everything just knowing she would stay.

She cast me off like an old shoe, tossed me away.

We loved through the nights, chased our dreams in the light,

But her love must have faltered, that is something you can’t fight.

Oh, she had me, heart and soul, my love for her ran deep,

Then cast me off like an old shoe, that knocked me off my feet.

She left me thinking, was it love or just an illusion?

I have never in my life been in such a state of confusion.

Now what will I do, she cast me off like an old shoe.

I think of the time we carved our names in that old oak tree,

We swore our love to each other, our bond would always be.

But the promise crumbled, like dried leaves in the fall.

Now I’m lying her alone, trying to make sense of it all.

She took my laughter, left me with tears and sighs,

Left in the dark of night, without saying goodbye.

I look up and the stars still shimmer in this midnight sky,

Reminding me gently, she is gone but I still have to try,

To pick up the pieces of what’s left of my shattered heart.

Maybe find someone to put them back together, a fresh start.

Oh, she had me, heart and soul, my love for her ran deep,

Then cast me off like an old shoe, that knocked me off my feet.

She left me thinking, was it love or just an illusion?

I have never in my life been in such a state of confusion.

Now what will I do, she cast me off like an old shoe.

In the dark of the night, when the moon rises high,

I remember her laughter, the way she would giggle then sigh.

Our love was suppose to last, that shows what I knew.

She cast me off, just like an old shoe.

Just like an old worn out shoe.
