Love inflicts a pain that's hard to bear, facing truths you wish would disappear. And yet, you realize fate doesn't care, dredging up memories steeped in fear. The sting of rejection hijacks hope lost amidst the shadows of darkness. And dreams slide down a slippery slope as empty lies embellish starkness. Fragile feelings and paper dreams tear, locked in a cycle of push and shove. For fear conceals a failing affair that’s fueled by unrequited love. Find your happy place and dry those tears, there's no use crying; try something new. For life's not as bleak as it appears, open your heart, and let hope guide you. (Quatrain) 5/8/2017

You have woven the fragility of human emotions into your work masterfully as always Emile. Human love and feelings are too sensitive to be treated clumsily. You last two verses give the answer like ointment to heal the wound. A Big 7 my friend ... Maria

This is AMAZING! I love it Emile, it touches me at a time when I needed to read something like this. Though not in the ring of love, but more in the ring of friendship.. I've found hardships that this would see me through. It was wrote for you, but somehow I feel I was meant to see it. God bless. 7 only because I can't rate higher.

Good Morning Emile. This is so eloquently and beautifully stated and expressed. May we remember your words of inspiration and words of worth. Honestly. This entry is whole and should be considered as whole but if you take each stanza one by one everything has a message. Wonderful work in its entirety. Have a wonderful day.
