Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Today Is A Shadow

You believed he loved you,
though it was all a lie.
And the saddest thing is,
lies, don't care if you cry.

Your pain and suffering
mock the Angels above. 
For your innocent heart
has been damaged by love.

Time's the only thing that
can mend a broken heart.
And dispel depression,
when your world falls apart.

You cannot change the past
despite your many tries.
And accepting the truth
wipes the tears from your eyes.

Today is a shadow
cast by yesterday's light.
And that reality
disturbs your dreams at night.

Tomorrow doesn't exist
in the moment of now.
And you need to move on
and forget him, somehow.
