The shoes I bought Are too big for me But I love them I love them dearly I strapped them up tight I redid the laces Put on layers of socks Crammed ***** of tissue to fill the empty spaces I submerged them in water In a pail, to the bottom they'd sink I left them in the sun In the hopes that they'd shrink I just wish that they'd peer through their eyelets And see me for all I've done I will not cease to fill the voids And fulfil the love I've begun The shoes I bought They remain too big for me But I still love them I love them dearly

Shoes
The shoes I bought Are too big for me But I love them I love them dearly I strapped them up tight I redid the laces Put on layers of socks Crammed ***** of tissue to fill the empty spaces I submerged them in water In a pail, to the bottom they'd sink I left them in the sun In the hopes that they'd shrink I just wish that they'd peer through their eyelets And see me for all I've done I will not cease to fill the voids And fulfil the love I've begun The shoes I bought They remain too big for me But I still love them I love them dearly
