Your Favorite Shoes

slip me on when I compliment your outfit
double knot a noose around my neck
for I am a slave to your desire
no will of my own
you choose when to bring me along 
or leave me back home
when I don't suit the venue
get comfortable with me
so that I learn exactly how you move
and where you need extra support
because again I am only here
to serve and care for you
wear me down until I have no grip 
of what love really is
perhaps I am your favorite for now
but soon you will buy a new pair
and I will be left with your footprint in my soul
