Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Callous Heart

Half-truths morphed into deceit,
drowning out love's sweet refrain.
And you sounded the retreat,
devastated once again.

Your shattered heart was broken;
when passion's flame flickered out.
And hurtful words were spoken,
as truths were bandied about.

A naive victim of lust,
your fantasies fell apart.
For under the cloak of trust,
lies concealed a callous heart.

Imprisoned without a key,
your feelings were tightly bound.
And until you set them free;
the love you seek won't be found.
