Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Sentimental Fool

You sort through yesteryears,
reliving every scene.
And doubting choices made,
dream of what might have been.

Time slowly unravels
the tangled threads of youth.
And reveals woven lies
camouflaged as the truth.

Savoring the moment;
with its bittersweet taste.
You peer back at a heart
love overlooked in haste.

And as your memories
try to recall her face.
You dream what could've been,
in fantasy's embrace.

A sentimental fool,
you feel fate steered you wrong.
And doubt haunts you, like the
words to an earworm song.
