Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

On Your Own

Once young and naïve,
I fell for your charms.
And yet, now, I must
abandon your arms.

I will tiptoe out
when the night turns black.
And scurry away 
without looking back.

Asleep with your dreams
you lie unaware.
And it hurts inside,
because I still care.

But all my hopes got
scuttled in mid-stream.
And there's more to love
than a worn-out dream.

I can't live a lie
or try to pretend.
Though you'll always be
much more than a friend.

Tomorrow you'll feel
confused and alone.
But you'll be better
off; there, on your own.

Dorian Petersen Potter January 15, 2015 at 10:16 AM Well expressed pen Emile! very nice but sad pen about worn out emotions and dreams of a love gone completely stale and sour. it happens a lot in real life as well as in the movies and novels. So bitter-sweet I believe that no matter what some love always stays alive in our hearts no matter the experience, make it positive or negative that's up to the individual and it surely takes a lot of heart and kindness not to convert it into hatred. And hate for me is never a choice, but that's only me. A 7 from me! Have a nice day! :) Love and hugs!xxxx D.^o^" Emile Pinet January 15, 2015 at 6:19 PM Dorian, I am touched by your words and humbled by your praise. Thank you, Emile.
