Left Shoe Missing

Left shoe missing
Where you go?

Came home Sunday, the wardrobe's bare
Your side of the bed, no pillow there
Toothbrush gone, the kettle's cold
Your key on the counter, just like I was told
Every shirt of yours is gone
Every photo off the wall
But under the bed when I got down low
One left shoe, and that's all

Did you forget it?
Did you leave it?

Left shoe missing (where you go?)
The right one walked out the door
Left shoe missing (where you go?)
Did you leave it so you'd come back for more?

Left shoe, left shoe
Where you go?

I put it by the door for a week
Like a dog that waits for you
Sister says, "Just throw it out"
I say, "Where's she gonna walk in two?"
Friday night my phone lights up
One message, one small line
"Did I leave something at yours?"
I type, "Just this heart of mine"

Did you forget it?
Did you leave it?

Left shoe missing (where you go?)
The right one walked out the door
Left shoe missing (where you go?)
Did you leave it so you'd come back for more?

I deleted what I typed
I wrote, "Yes, your left shoe"
You said, "I'll come get it Saturday"
I said, "Bring the right one too"

Left shoe missing (where you go?)
Saturday you're at the door
Left shoe missing (where you go?)
Bring the right one, stay some more

Left shoe
Where you go?
