Boots

My pine green dr martens sit comfortably under my mirror
Along with an array of other green and black shoes,
But they have been used more in the short time I’ve had them
Then any other patient shoe alongside them.

Although, purchased from a conniving ex-boyfriend
My pine green dr martens sit comfortably under my mirror
And remind me of how life can turn for the worse,
Especially when you least expect it. 

I still wear these boots despite knowing he bought them
Because they (we) deserve better than that, after a dreadful night
My pine green dr martens sit comfortably under my mirror
And I lay uncomfortably in bed loathing the thought of him. 

I plug in my earbuds and weep while listening to my lethargic
Playlist all while regretting how I trusted him to buy me
These beautiful yet expensive shoes and despite everything;
My pine green dr martens sit comfortably under my mirror.
