Feeling Abandoned By Loved Ones

Do people really outgrow us like a old pair of shoes. 
People. Those who we have spent so long with us.

People. who seem to find it easy to replace us.
People who seem to find ways to de place us.
People. Who seem to feel we have lost our sheen. 
People who show us in many ways that they are mean.

When I was a child I was taught to look after my belongings.
I was taught to handle with care.
I wasn't taught to throw away.
I was taught to outweigh. 

They say that all that glitters is never gold. 
so why does that make them so bold.
To find another and leave us out in the cold.

People. Who treat you bad and make you sad
People. Who find another another who makes them glad. 
People. Who you feel are your own
However over time show you that you are now torn. 

Then I realise that it is the supreme law of the universe. 
What comes in must go out.
What is old must become gold.

I sit here and weep and then I realise too
These "people" too are also my old pair of shoes.
