My Girlfriend Has No Shoes

My girlfriend has no shoes
Her feet dirty and black
We lie together on the cardboard
Near the rumbling metro track

The people hurry past us
They don’t care about our woes
But they don’t realise how close
Life’s highs are to the lows

I was like you once my friend
Until fate had its way
So enjoy it while it lasts my friend
Enjoy your better day.
