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.
