Boots

You’ve been hovering above me
For so long
And now that your boots fit
It’s like I was you all along.
I’ll wear them all over town,
It’s like you never left,
At least for the ground.
I won’t forget your scent,
I can’t forget your sound,
You were never meant
To be quietly found.

Officially a nervous office worker!

I’d like to share a new short story today. I wrote this one recently, a sort of Frankenstein story that you may enjoy. Let me know what you think!
