I See You There

Those are not my tears

I See You There

I’m standing in front of the mirror

Not believing the reflection is me,

There stands a women crying

They can’t be my tears I see.

***

We were always so good together

Perfect, people would always say,

I never would have believed then

That we’d never stay that way.

***

Everyone said you were no good

They believe it’s better like this,

But I was the one to feel your love

And experienced your tender kiss.

***

So I stand here looking in the mirror

And continue to see the sad view,

Once the tears stop, I’ll smile again

But I’ll always feel my love for you.

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.
