Bitter Sister:

Don't want to leave
like this
want to pick you up
in my arms 
kiss you and tell
you - I have 
stored away and
protected,
this love I have for
you.

Don't want to feel
like this,
Like the only way
into your 
heart is when it's
vulnerable.   
Making it seem as if
I hate you

When I just don't 
want you to hate me.
Never could 
I even dislike
you,snide remarks, 
resentments
I have endured-
Because I hoped,
and took the shots. 

Realizing that my 
defense was strong
my retaliation could

kick you into
eternal
wickedness.
I surrendered 
I Love you 
too much, to let 
you continue hurting

yourself, to hurt
me.

You won't see me
again
As I aggravate 
your condition on
sight.
Transposing
your guilty,trading 
places with
innocence.
as I remind you of
your 
well held onto
condition.

The truth is I want
to 
hold you and tell
you
It's fine-
I want to clear your
eyes.
let you see that 
the love is here 
It cannot be
released. 
I cannot complete 
the task;until you
ask.
