Bitter Sweet

Bitter sweet like a strawberry, My breath slowly fades away from me As the sun fades at dusk. Perhaps the journey has placed us here, Or by chance we just don’t care. Bitter sweet like the cutting of old ties, The warmth melts me, My skin, my bones, the tender muscles sing The sweet soft sounds of serenity, Or perhaps it is the silence that aluminates me. Bitter sweet like graduating, All that I have once known has escaped me But is replace with something so delicate, So perfect, so absurd, so mine. And is soon to be taken away. Bitter sweet like the last kiss, Because it destroys me all over again Until I fold to my knees And crawl back once more For another taste. Bitter sweet is you to me, Cravings surge with every beat. Withdrawal only makes the longing grow. Because you are my drug: My lovely, bitter sweet addiction.

Thanks so much for all the comments and welcoming. You all are making me want to be more involved! I don't usually write poetry. This is one of my first original pieces. Normally I am a novelist. I'm having a blast though! I know I'll be posting more with all the great feedback.

Hopefully the bitterness or the sweetness will pass soon and you can move on either closer together or farther apart. Excellent poem. I enjoyed it. Self-destruction described well.
