Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Tears Fell Like Rain

Over the years tears fell like rain,
drowning any hope in my heart.
And fragile dreams immersed in pain,
slowly began to fall apart.

Shunning rules of propriety,
you placed yourself first and me last.
And fueled by anxiety,
love's allocated to the past.

I remember the tender hugs
that once made me feel ten feet tall.
And your funny, innocent shrugs,
I recall the charm of it all.

When you ran off, I changed the locks,
now all that's left is bitter tears.
For, despite my pleas and long talks,
your cheating grew over the years.

You went where I couldn't follow,
and yet, you beg forgiveness still.
But your empty words ring hollow,
you don't love me and never will.

Life was perfect, without a flaw,
till I became yesterday's toy.
And you loaded that final straw
that broke my heart and stole my joy.

Lin Lane December 29, 2015 at 9:02 AM The heart is a treacherous thing. Stubborn to the point of falling in love even when it knows danger lurks. You hit all the casualties with your words. Well done, Emile. Emile Pinet December 29, 2015 at 10:34 AM Thanks Lin, yes hearts can be stubborn things, I enjoy your friendly comments. Emile.
