You know,
they are all fab and fuzzy one moment;
flat-gone the next.
Wonder where part of your heart went?
Is part of your soul feeling tarnished?
Promises, they are full of them.
Ideas, fantasy-lovers, so intriguing;
feel like a puppet, a robot,
like you’ve been ridden;
a nouveau vacuum cleaner
suddenly replaced?
Some folks call them fickle,
others two-timers - me,
I call them slippers!
They try you on,
wear you out
and
before you get a chance
to be worn out,
they just slip away
leaving cold and bare!
**** slippers!
