Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Frightened and Unsure

On the fringes of shattered dreams,
illusion feigns normality.
And the echoes of silent screams
mute the voice of morality.

Dipping off the edge of despair;
cascading tears pool on the ground.
Yet, unrequited love doesn't care,
whether or not you stick around.

Passion's elation turns to grief,
as denial conceals the truth.
And your broken heart seeks relief
outside: the innocence of youth.

Reality begins to bend;
snagged on unrequited love's lure.
And wanting the nightmares to end:
you're feeling frightened and unsure.

Kim Shaw March 30, 2015 at 11:30 AM Yes, I absolutely agree with this very well reasoned write, Emile. "Reality begins to bend for hearts traumatized by love's lure". Rebound lust and infatuation can lead to very painful consequences; but not always, thankfully. There is grace! Hugs, Kimberly Emile Pinet March 30, 2015 at 1:57 PM Thanks Kimberly, it's always a pleasure to hear from you. Emile.
