Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

The Silent Treatment

how childish
how immature
but it gets me
through
the spell
where i'd like
to kill someone

blood pressure
through the roof
my head could explode
but at least
i’m not committing
any crime
or saying something
i cannot take back

i know i know
it's the easy way out
i'm not proud of it
i should know better
i'm just a coward
and a hypocrite

Caren Krutsinger November 25, 2018 at 3:30 PM So unlike you, Line. Heartfelt, but the hurt is oozing. Sad for me, for I do adore you, and wish I could help. Line Gauthier November 25, 2018 at 4:54 PM Thanks for your warm wishes, Caren. Sometimes we just have to bite our lip and be thankful we didn't do anything to deserve jail time. Line xx
