I can see you getting restless
Trying to hide your itchy feet,
You’re getting ready to leave
Pulling away, ready to retreat.
***
I’m not blind, nor a fool
I can see there’s a change,
You’re trying hard to hide
You’re acting very strange.
***
I’ve been playing it cool
So you’d never know,
It’s going to be painful
But I will let you go.
***
I’ve no idea what went wrong
I thought we were happy,
If I get too close lately
You get incredibly snappy.
***
So I’ll leave it up to you
As you’ll leave when ready,
Please do it gently
So we can stay friendly.

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.
