Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Back Into My Heart

I don't sniff your pillow anymore;
for I've stopped hugging it late at night.
And though your subtle scent still lingers,
your photos are no longer in sight.

Denying that you ever cheated,
you swore to God that your love was true.
Yet despite vows of fidelity,
betrayal severed my heart in two.

You cavalierly brag to your friends
that I'll not easily forget you.
And I admit, I cried when you left;
but those tears have dwindled to a few.

Time reduced you to a memory,
shortly after we drifted apart.
And all my dreams and hopes have returned;
finding their way back into my heart.
