New pair of shoes

New pair of shoes..

 
That's what I feel like in your "closet" 
Im in a dark enclosed space until you walk in and brighten the room. Not with the flip of a switch but with your smile. 
Why did you want me in your closet in the first place?
I know!... You liked the way I looked so you tried me on for size. Not quite comfortable; yet you liked what you saw. But the big bonus was.. I was on clearance.  Cheap. That's what I feel like at least. 
At first I thought you wanted me in your space because you fell in love with me. Forget about cheap. 
Now I see that I'm "just here" waiting for you to come in and try me out for a while. You might feel uncomftorable with me at first but after you try me on for size a few times then you'll see that we start molding together and become very comfortable with each other. 
I would much rather be the new pair of shoes than the old pair. The old pair have no soul left.

If sex were a new pair of shoes, I think you would wear this man out. I enjoyed your poem, but as a “foot- note,” someone once wrote: “learning to love is akin to ascertaining how to tie shoes, and that’s why most men wear slippers.” Thank you for posting, a wonderful first poem. Smiles :-)
