Toes In Love

[amelie]

As you left me you trod on my toe:
What an unmitigated double disaster!
It was bad enough letting you go,
But now both heart and a foot are in plaster.

They say one pain drives out another;
I’m here to say it’s not true:
I’ve lost mobility as well as a lover;
My mood and my toes are both blue.

You broke a phalange and metatarsal,
But the details don’t matter that much;
I just think you’re an areshole,
To leave me loveless like this on a crutch.

I ought to be out having fun;
Just to show you I'm no lovers fool,
But who wants to dance with someone
Who boogies like a club footed ghoul?

I could cope with love for me ending;
You and I were simply not meant;
Acceptance is all part of the mending,
But not with a toe all twisted and bent.

My heart had it coming I guess,
And deserved what it got, it is true;
But the rest of me was utterly blameless;
Tell me, what harm did my toes do to you?

Did they ever take sides in a fight,
Or cheat on you under the table,
Or not wriggle with pleasure at night,
Doing everything of which toes are able?

They loved you right down to their tips;
Helped me reach up to kiss you and then
They’d tingle at the brush of our lips;
They will never fall so deeply again.

So, on behalf of those toes that miss you.
And are finding it hardest to mend;
Though broken, they’re still loving and true,
And beg you to not let us end.

This was a very interesting take on things, I liked this.

up until the last two stanzas i very much thought this belonged in the humor category...i've never seen this aspect of a broken heart before... great job melis

haha yeah i was the same way. i laughed a lot in this. And the point you made at the end was really cool. I'd never thought of it like that. A humerous and thought provoking write. nicely done.
