Another Lover Leaves (Bompert)

~by Gregg Rowe~

I am in love, then
I saw you kiss him
As you worked out in the gym

Crying in my soul
Need to set you free
Time to find yourself you plea

Off you go alone
An empty bed I
Sleep, wondering who’s the guy

That could go and rip a heart
-- But a new life -- I will start.

    Amazing

    This the first gender sensitive bomperts I read and I totally love it. The imagery is great and...it indeed happens! In the gym? Falling in love? Then starting a new life? Whew! That's cool...and that was deep. Good job here Gregg. I do know you are a great writer. Thanks for participating in my contest.
