Worn Out Shoes

How far we go for love unrequited.

Shoes on my feet and I've logged

A million miles.

I've climbed Kilimanjaro

And soothed my parched tongue

With a cup of lava.

I'm strolling the length of the 

Great Wall of China on a pebble

But somehow I can't get to

Where you are.

I could run from France to Mongolia:

Sipping wine from the Reve Gauche,

Squeezing a yak teat for tepid milk,

But you're nowhere to be found.

I would dip my tired sole in the Ganges

And tear down the Taj Mahal

If it meant that you'd take notice,

But you won't and I'm knackered.

So now I'll walk slowly, sweetly

From the head-shaped columns of Easter Island

To the golden statue at Rockefeller Center

And skate on thin ice.

I like this one ^^, it can be taken for "that one persion" or "finding that purpouse" something I think we all can relate to ;) good job Thomas!!

The shoes are made for walking. I love this!

This is very well-written and filled with emotions. It truly shows how funny love is sometimes, when you're trying so hard but the other won't take notice /: Very descriptive and visual(:
