Me? A broken heart? Please, I'm a man!
I ain't got no feelings to hurt!
I don't miss her at all. No...
Not her hair...or those eyes...
Those long walks when she
Held hands with me...
No, I (sniff)...
Thanks...

Oh, man, now I got something in my eye 😢
Well-wrought! I'm again and again stricken with how the nonet is such an excellent form for this particular subject matter. The dwindling lines are alike the collapse of reason in the face of heartbreak, and you did an excellent job here capturing the recourse to bravado as a response!
This is great!! And so much truth! 🥰
Loved this! Good bit of humor! First one that made me smile
Oh, I like this. Especially the end where it become clear he's actually talking to someone. Well done.
Men are humans with emotions as well. Loved your poem!
Nice!!! I liked the POV. Stubborn, yet it's clear it's going to take more time to accept for him.
Great entry, clever!
