Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Love's Betrayal

His words were lies before they were spoken;
a regurgitation of excuses.
And a precursor to love's betrayal,
Deceit denies his trail of abuses.

In his alternative reality:
the truth transforms into hyperbole.
And he can't distinguish the difference:
even though it's so evident to me.

He says that he loves me, but that's not true;
I do not believe he knows what love is.
He treats me like I am a prized trophy;
as though I were a possession of his.

True love stretches beyond physical needs
and encompasses wishes, hopes, and deeds.

Lawrence Sharp September 3, 2018 at 10:35 AM 'His words were lies before they were spoken...' an eye-catching line right at the very beginning, and my attention remained undivided throughout. Very well written... I hope that you find the right answers.
