Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

Words Can't Convey

Words can't convey what I'm feeling,
color has shed all shades but blue.
Betrayal has left me reeling.

It seems my heart's not worth stealing,
and holds little value for you.
Words can't convey what I'm feeling.

I wait at the altar, kneeling,
with my broken heart ripped in two.
Betrayal has left me reeling.

My hurting heart's beyond healing,
deceived by all I thought was true.
Words can't convey what I'm feeling.

Blankly staring at the ceiling,
I do not know what I should do.
Betrayal has left me reeling.

My life's falling apart, dealing
with all the shame you put me through.
Words can't convey what I'm feeling,
Betrayal has left me reeling.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders January 28, 2015 at 5:57 PM When love is lost, it can be found again...that's when the healing begins. Your poignant words cut straight to the heart, Emile...hugs to you, Rhonda Emile Pinet January 28, 2015 at 8:13 PM Thanks Rhonda, your input is always welcome. Emile.

Jerry Bolton January 28, 2015 at 3:00 PM When love is destroyed it is the most depressing thing in the world. Either that or the urge to physically harm the one who left you standing there all alone. It is sad anyway you look at it. Why can't we just make the extra effort in relationships? Emile Pinet January 28, 2015 at 3:29 PM Thanks Jerry, I appreciate your input. Emile.
