You broke my heart, crushing it with your lies until it couldn't bear the weight of one more. And I lost sight of the love in your eyes, obscured by shadows that weren't there before. Hope never wanted to believe the truth, as long as there was a chance, Doubt was wrong. And I kept blaming the jitters of youth, feeling confident our bond was still strong. Warned that I was being played for a fool, I wasn't quite ready to abandon trust. For I didn't believe you'd be so cruel, as to exploit love, to satisfy lust. When lies poison what makes life livable, it's beyond wrong; it's unforgivable.

"Hope never wanted to believe the truth." Amazing line of wisdom from a broken heart not written in delusion but with the eyesight of steadfast hope. This is a wondrous poem Emile. Congratulations. Blessings.

mmm... love a sonnet. Exquisite, your iambs and rhymes. Poignant, your portrait of a false lover. "...to exploit love satisfy lust" truly is unforgivable.
