Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Acid Tears

Shadowed by feelings of dread,
self-doubt, belittles self-worth.
Rejection and forlornness
have traumatized you since birth.

Loneliness fuels the pain
of a future fraught with fear.
And that overwhelming weight
crushes with a single tear.

Eroded by acid tears,
hope exists only in dreams.
And fantasy's illusion
cannot stifle silent screams.

Craving eternal relief,
you hope that death is the end.
Forever sounds frightening
when you've never known a friend.

Line Gauthier March 1, 2018 at 6:13 PM My favourite lines are : " fantasy's illusions fail to stifle silent screams." and "For forever's frightening when you haven’t got a friend." A most touching read, Emile. Emile Pinet March 1, 2018 at 6:45 PM Thank you so much Line, your visits are always most welcome. Emile.

Freddie Robinson Jr. May 19, 2017 at 1:11 PM A most honest and sobering poem, Emile. I went back to your early work, and chose this one because of the title (great title too.) And would you believe it, it is the polar opposite of your poem posted today, "A Friend of Mine." That was some peculiar karma. Wonderful poem because of it vulnerable yearnings. You really have a good grasp of the human condition. Love always. Emile Pinet May 19, 2017 at 5:33 PM Thank you very much Freddie, as always your support and kind words are very appreciated, Emile. Freddie Robinson Jr. May 19, 2017 at 1:14 PM Btw ... the title matches a theme in one of my poems, "Dissolved." Loved yours though. Love and peace.

Tammy Reams February 4, 2015 at 6:29 AM Sometimes the abuse will make a person stronger and more loving of things here on earth. Most victims have more to give and see things in a different light. This is a great poem and shows how hard it is at times from abuse. Awesome poem! Emile Pinet February 4, 2015 at 7:06 AM Thanks Tammy, your input is welcome. Emile.

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 13, 2015 at 4:03 AM this a poem full of angst and hurt.. Ive written a poem about Rape... My heart is saddened with reports of abuse but I admire those victims who spring out standing despite what has been.. Indeed it is hard but one way or another we experience abuse and its challenging on how we"ll go about such... Bless us all.. :) Emile Pinet January 13, 2015 at 9:13 AM Thank you very much, as always your support and kind words are very appreciated, Emile.

Poet Destroyer A May 20, 2013 at 9:41 PM Emile, this is a very touching subject. Many will read this and relate to this kind of abuse or other forms of abuse. God, bless us all, especially the one's who found the strength in knowing we are not alone..... Congratulations, in Susan's "ABUSE" contest... Goodnight **PD
