I left my shoes behind when my feet got stuck in the asphalt
I had to leave them behind when I walked right into this mess that I didn’t see
I was able to walk away, but
That awful tar scent is still in my nose
The hot ground is still searing my soles
And I can’t see through the sweat that stings my eyes
