Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Flashes Of Real

Lies told to deceive your soul
let dying dreams drown in tears.
And you fall into a hole;
that deepens over the years.

Squandering away your youth;
you somehow lost track of time.
And realizing the truth
hastens anxiety's climb.

Lured by flattery's sweet sway;
you cling to dreams to survive.
And secret your hurt away,
hoping to keep love alive.

Denial won't let you see
past his lies the way you should.
And fuels the fantasy;
he is just misunderstood.

Seeking solace in the dark,
hope dims, flashes of real.
And although tears leave their mark,
a smile masks the pain you feel.
