"pretty please with maraschino cherry and whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles"

My Beloved Stilettos

I.
I put on
My stiletto heels
My identity

The symbol
Of me

My career
My life

My heels
My stilettos

My beloved.


II.
You asked me
To step out

of

My stilettos

Should I
Do so

For you?

If I take off
My stilettos

If I take them off
Because of you

Am I still
Me

Can I still
Be me?

III
My stilettos

A
Part of
The me

You fell
For

A
Part of
The me

That fell
For you

So if I
Remove

My beloved
Stilettos

My
8-inch
wicked heels

The
Symbol
Of my identity

A
Symbol
Of my career

Am I still me

Am I still
The me

That loves you?

I think

Not.


IV
So

Let me keep
My stilettos

Let me keep
Me

The me
That loves you

So

The me
That you love

The me
In my stilettos

The

Ambitious

Working

Me.

during the exam period, all I wear lately are my flats. =(

I miss the high high heels. =) Maybe I should start looking for boots too. *heh. Would look great with a knee length pencil denim skirt.
