Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Ramblings of a Breaking Heart

His arms around a stranger
  awake all through the night
A stranger he thought he knew

He knew he realized less than nothing
  awake all through the night
Nothing seemed to flow with sense

Senseless were his emotions
  awake all through the night
Emotions bubbling over

Over and over in his head
  awake all through the night
His head and heart in shambles

He’d tell the stranger in his bed
She’d have to leave and not come back
  And that’s what kept him up all through the night

Timothy Mcguire September 18, 2019 at 4:57 PM Fab! Love it! This inspires me to write. Thank you Line Gauthier September 18, 2019 at 8:34 PM What a wonderful compliment, Timothy.

Panagiota Romios September 18, 2019 at 3:19 PM I know this is not unusual and people do end up in sexual liaisons, they wonder,,"Golly how did this happen.". Well, golly gee! I have no sorrow for this. People have bedded the wrong people for centuries, Zip up your pants, man-up for heavens sake. This dude does not have terminal cancer. Just made a poor judgement call. God is all forgiving..Move on..is he 13 years old? Sheesh. Woman will be fine! PANAGIOTA Hearts don't break.if so, I should have died 50 years ago. ))) Panagiota Line Gauthier September 18, 2019 at 8:37 PM I'm all for moving on, Panagiota. Some people invest a lot in relationships before it is deserved so they eventually have a rude awakening. I often compare relationships to gambling. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
