Teardrops On My Reeboks

Once a week I will return, to the streets by our old house;
The ones you walked for eight plus years, with memories they arouse!
I visit all the cherished places, where you loved your business do;
As the tears start falling freely, landing on my Reebok walking shoes!
.
I never had to show you, for you were familiar with the way;
That led to all your favorite spots, the ones you’d visit everyday!
As I pass them I feel such heartache, sometimes pretending you’re still here;
With my hands on your leash and harness, that held my soulmate very near!
.
My mind sometimes says I’m a masochist, for it exposing to such pain;
But I respond that I am helpless, from this walk, I can’t refrain!
For it brings back treasured moments, of the years from our Blessed past;
The ones that ended so abruptly, and not long enough did last!
.
So once a week in the early morning, before the sun will start to rise;
I walk again “The Trail Of Tears”, as my heart forever cries!
I call them “The Terrible Tuesdays”, for that’s the day I said goodbye;
To my precious soulmate Nico, and watched his soul to Heaven fly!
 
.
                                I walk in your shoes
                       They lead me to green pastures
                              Where I feel your soul
