When I’m Swept Off My Feet

Think about us

You know, you and me,

Marriage isn't easy

It's certainly not free.

By Samantha Gades on Unsplash

You won't make any sacrifices

Not even for us,

For our marriage to work

It is really a must.

I live with the drinking

Which stops the good times,

But what can I say

You think that's just fine.

By Felipe Ponce on Unsplash

I live with the TV

And the importance of work,

But you can't understand

Why any of this hurts.

By Jan Böttinger on Unsplash

How are you going to feel

When I'm swept off my feet,

When a guy who thinks I'm special

Comes walking down my street?

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.
