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.
