He said he knew your heart; one glance was all it took. And then bragged to his friends; he didn't bother to look. Childhood fantasies were mere delusions of youth. For fate's mirror of lies warped reality's truth. Tangled within doubt's web, your heart struggles to cope. And paper dreams crumble when built only on hope. Shadows of yesterday cast doubt on tomorrow. For it's hard to conceal such anguish and sorrow. Time dulls truth's cutting-edge, numbing your inner pain. Yet it may take a while, before you smile again. (Quatrain) 6/23/2015

"He swore he knew your heart yet didn't even look." Bringing back memories... well portrayed lies and deceit, Emile.

Yes, Emile, us men can be a shallow bunch, with a sometimes throwaway attitude to the fairer sex. Lovely piece. Well done. Regards, Viv

Hello Emile, Very well-done here Sir! One can sense quite well the message and emotion of this write. Time is indeed a palliative, but deep emotional scars in life's run may never be perfectly smoothed over. This one's a "7" + FAV for me. Excellent Work!! Best Always, Gary
