Suspicion Doesn't Matter, Does It?

Splash.Splash.Splash. 

There goes those red shoes 

Into the abyss of the alley way,

Strutting to the sounds of the 

Night life that seems to be very alive;  

Even the stars are singin' to their tunes. 

So look and stare as those shoes are walkin' away. 

They're very pretty, aren't they? 

..I wonder if they dance? 

Click.Click.Click.  

Watch them, watch them, they dance very good! 

Now let's twirl around to see you smile,

And let the mic man sing you so smooth,

Letting him sing those irresistible blues! 

I know they'll keep you alive and awake, 

Making you feel like your life is alright. 

Now stare to the left, stare to the right. 
Who eyes do you see? 

Squeak. Squeak. Oooo. 

Those eyes saw each other across the room, 

Sparks flying everywhere as though 

They were seeing fireworks display. 

At first, they smiled so brightly

That they would blind the whole room, 

The sparks still flying as the two 

Went to meet each other for the very first time. 

Oh my, look at this! Skip a little bit

And there's dancing and laughing, 

Take a gin bottle as they walked 

Off and got into a car that would fly away.  

Eventually, that car landed and

The twined souls finally came together, 

The heat burning up as they got closer....
Closer, even closer....aha, eureka! 

Lips and grits have finally sealed the deal, 

Adding some change to this likable ordeal! 

Snap.Crack.HUSH. 

There's no more lips, no more grits. 

There's certainly no more heat or sparks to add to this story.

The red shoes have made an ending in this story;

Very unlikable, and very tragic. So tragic to a few. 

But it'll all be hush-hush by the time

The stars have exited the stage, 

And when they let a new act come on. 

So nobody will have any idea about the

Who's,what's, where's, and how's! 

Yet they'll only know never to trust

Another strange pair of unfamiliar shoes... 

Now did you get that....or not? 

Author's Note

I can't sleep,so this is what I came up with.
Inspiration: The Singing Detective (the movie).

It's like a weird murder mystery poem that's a bit experimental.
I hope you guys like it,though.. ^_^
I'm just not sure about the title for this poem....
