Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Don't Know How

How do I begin
to imagine my life
without you
when you’ve been part
of my every moment
every breath
an extension
of my heart
my very body
 
How do I begin
to imagine my life
with half of me gone
amputated
wandering
aimlessly
without a compass
nowhere to go
lost in a world
without you

How do I begin
to imagine my life
when the sun
refuses to rise
and the moon
hides behind clouds
rain falling nonstop
day and night

How do I begin

Caren Krutsinger August 24, 2020 at 7:43 PM I have no idea, and nothing to base this on. This feeling must be so overwhelming, there is no word to describe it, and yet, you have described it in this beautiful write, Line. Well done!
