betrayal

your old socks haunt me

as they linger in my drawer

 

Touching all my innocent matched pairs.

 

you had slipped them to me

one frosty night when the cold nipped at my toes

 

An act of a gentleman.

 

but now what am i to do?

you're gone, but your socks remain

 

Each opening of my drawer kindles the coldness I feel.

 

you and your socks betrayed me

none of you comfort me anymore

 

But at least the socks decided to stay.
