The well-worn shoes
The well-worn shoes
Forlorn, unused
The well-worn shoes
Just inches away from the refuse
They stay mute
Neither crying nor fighting
Their silence absolute
No yelling, no shouting
The great pain inside
Only adds fuel to their spite
But, too tired to make a sound
They sing, their voice found
It's hollow
It's mellow
Yet a relief from a voice bound
