"The Lone Sneaker"

We once were a pair,
now we’re apart.
I miss you so much
there’s ache in my heart.
When you left me so sudden,
I felt useless and lame.
There is no one to share with,
Things just aren’t the same.

I get all emotional when I see a lone shoe on the median strip and I wonder. Where is the other one? Who would throw just one shoe away? Do shoes cry?
