Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Game Fools Play

Tell me: what happened
to the man I knew?
And why do you treat
me, the way you do?

You spin silken lies
that defy belief.
And sneak out at night,
like a common thief.

Luring me astray,
push soon turns to shove.
And wooing trouble,
you betray my love.

Once trust is broken,
it fades: till it dies.
And depression feeds
upon its demise.

You have taken my
happiness away.
And reduced our love;
to a game fools play.
