Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Hope Runs Out

he asked for so little
kept looking for the signs
just enough to show
she cared
and loved him

he kept looking
his heart
let down
sinking with every miss
he finally had to
admit defeat

she loved the bottle
and he just couldn’t compete

Timothy Mcguire September 18, 2019 at 4:51 PM Most addictions lead back to our early childhood and how our parents treat their children. A child believes mom and dad. Whether they tell the child they are good or no good. We all deal with loneliness and depression in many different ways. <3 Line Gauthier September 18, 2019 at 8:52 PM And this is exactly the case here. So sad.

Regina Mcintosh September 17, 2019 at 9:54 PM So sad but that really does happen sometimes. I've had people in my family die from this legal drug, alcohol. It's just as bad as the illegal ones. Blessings for you and your inspiring poetry. Line Gauthier September 17, 2019 at 10:01 PM So sad that people throw their lives away. Thanks for your visit and comment, Regina.
