Twice Today Poem by Myrtle Glo Oliquino

Twice today I thought I saw your face
My heart beat faster than its usual pace
I looked a little closer to realize I'm wrong
I wanted to cry but found out I'm now strong.

Twice today I thought I heard myself curse
But I assured myself, my day could not get worse
So I smiled and tried hard to forget
That when it wasn't you I saw, I was kind of upset.

Twice today I took a peek at your picture
And tried to weigh if my heart you could still injure
I felt relieved after I've taken a look at you
I'm confident, right now it doesn't make me blue.

Twice today I whispered a prayer quite so simple
To keep you safe and bring you blessings ample
For though you've broken my heart for so many times,
I still love you somehow, I realize sometimes.
