the awkward fit

the awkward fit

 

 

i have longing shoes

but get tied up in laced regrets

loved you once, but you had me on my heels

 

backing up even as i kissed you forwardly

and you slapped me with a smile

that stung with so much pleasure

 

i almost fell out of my longing shoes

and now as i walk toward your dreams

you sleep me off, leaving my soul 

filled with your blues

 

in my longing shoes

that fit too perfectly

almost as well as the slippers

i wore, when you slipped out of me

much too easily.

Very witty ..... those fits
From misfits to perfect fits
To pairs falling off
I guess ..... a real relationship goes through these growing phases
What once was too tight can become very loose
It happens ..... I guess that's why people grow onto one another ;)

thank you.

This is perhaps one of your best metaphors....to fall out of one's "longing shoes" is not quite as easy as it sounds. The romances that we can't quite seem to forget....those were the real ones. Lydi**

You sleep me off, what a great line! I can offer some sneakers and see you running back to her. Maybe take a pair of sneaks for her?

Regards,
