A Bitter Pill To Take

No one can control who seizes their heart, Who makes it skip and beat so fast. No one can resist loves grasp like a fist, So hard to desist, mad mumblings that persist. LOVE is a bitter pill to take! No one can control who’s heart they seize, Who falls for your charms with such ease. No one can force to love another, The best they can do, is call them a lover. TRUTH is a bitter pill to take! When one seizes your heart but they don’t feel the same, You can talk all the talk but it will all be in vein. When they see your good qualities a plenty, What you feel for them becomes a penalty. FATE is a bitter pill to take! When you have someone’s heart but you do not feel the same, You love them as a friend but it drives you insane. They have all the potential so it becomes quite essential, To keep them as a friend with out being condescendtial. IRONY is a bitter pill to take! Two people together, great pal’s to the end, All can be threatened when one wants more, than just a friend. Testing their friendship, neither one wants it to be lost, What will happen in the end and indeed, at what cost. LIFE can be a bitter pill to take!
