Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Hole In Your Heart

Thunder rattles windowpanes
as rain strikes against the glass.
But the lightning soon fizzles,
and the downpours quickly pass.

You envy the storm's freedom,
stuck in your web of despair.
If it wasn't for paying rent,
no one would know you were there.

You feel like you've had enough,
and you've felt like that for weeks.
And as your dreams disappear,
hot tears trickle down your cheeks.

You watch old soap-operas
as you shelter from the rain.
And alone, left to yourself,
there's no one to feel your pain.

You sit in silent anguish,
an actor without a part.
And as loneliness pervades,
it's like a hole in your heart.

You dream of finding true love,
feeling special and wanted.
But you're doubtful that'll happen,
which leaves you feeling daunted.
