I'm Not Lisa

April 2024


I’m Not Lisa

by Jessi Colter


I’m not Lisa

My name is Julie

 

Lisa left you

years ago

 

My eyes are not blue

But mine won’t leave you

’Til the sunlight

has touched your face.

 

She was your morning light

 

Her smile told of no night

Your love for her grew

With each rising sun

 

And then one winter day

His hand led hers away


She left you here

Drowning in your tears

Here

Where you’ve stayed for years

 

Crying Lisa

Lisa.

 

I’m not Lisa

My name is Julie

 

Lisa left you

years ago


My eyes are not blue

 

But mine won’t leave you

 

’Til the sunlight

shines through your face.

 

She’s not Julie.
