Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

If You Can't Forgive

When happiness starts to fade,
tears inevitably fall.  
For lovers can't help but cry,  
when truth means nothing at all.

Doubt encourages lovers,
to seize the bull by the horns.
For, in that moment, you get
to see that roses bear thorns.

It's time for you to move on,
and tend to your broken heart.
For hope hasn't abandoned you;
such feelings will soon depart.

Relationships cannot last,
if they are not meant to be.
And though you feel life's over,
there is so much more to see.

If you can't forgive the lies;
don't let them stand in your way.
Yesterday's a memory;
tomorrow's a brand-new day.
