the holes in my socks

no, I don't want to cheer up.

The holes in my socks
remind me
just how long it's been
since you left me
on my own.
now all the sudden
you want back in?
it's too late
for patches
I need
something
new.

this made me smile. loved the title. but i have one question. "...since you left me to on my own." is "to" a typo or am i reading this wrong? It seemed like it should read "..since you left me on my own." anyway, this is an honest description of very real emotional moment. well done.

It is a typo, thanks for noticing.

and improved ☺

Something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
I'm feeling blue,
I need a pair of socks,
brand new, then I'll bid him/her adieu !

Awesome, clever turn of phrase. McFayden told me to cheer up, but d****t I am having so much fun:)
