I’m Not Enough

I Think, I Feel

I’m Not Enough

I know you are my husband

And I'm glad to be here,

I know you want me to stay

But my feelings are unclear.

***

I don't feel comfortable

And can't think of anything to say,

There's something worrying my mind

Although everything seems okay.

***

I thought you'd be happier to see me

And you'd make your feelings clear,

But there's something important missing

As if your not being sincere.

***

Being here doesn't feel right

I feel it in my heart,

It’s like we don't know each other

And we're not making a good start.

***

I know you're trying hard

But your feelings don't ring true,

I'm not saying you don't love me

Maybe showing your feelings is new.

***

There's been things you've said

That have stopped me feeling at home,

Some words have made me uncomfortable

And sometimes it's your tone.

***

But all in all I think

Being alone with me is not enough,

You've got your life and friends

And I'm just making things rough.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
