Bitter Sweet

Surely time
 will ease the pain.
   This is the crap, 
 that can drive you insane.

   Shot in the heart; 
 Remove the arrow.
   What you hold today,
 Could be gone tomorrow.

   In these four walls;
 I sit and stare.
   I can feel betrayal;
 crackling in the air.

   You are with someone;
 You are never alone.
   You come off,
 as if you belong on a throne.

   How does a person,
 Get to the point of no return?
   If you make it thru;
 A life lesson learned.

   You only care about yourself;
 It's all about you.
   Maybe you have Bitten,
 more than you can chew.

   All you have to offer;
 A sexual power.
   Human souls, sins of the flesh,
 You devour.

   When you become full;
 You discard the treat.
   The taste of Revenge,
 is Bitter Sweet.
