Bittersweet

The pain, sweet and beautiful

Like acid drops on my heart.

The pain swift and soothing,

Like damnation from the start.

The pain oh so inviting,

Like cravings sweet and strong.

The pain a constant companion

Like this cannot be wrong.

 

Heart breaking oh so slowly,

It never thought to cease.

Heart breaking wonderfully,

It never craves release.

Heart breaking like thin glass

Transparent and fragile still.

Heart breaking as its mending,

At mercy to love’s will.

 

Eyes filling, slow and sweet.

The darkness all been banished.

Eyes pouring sweet regret

Hungry for love, famished.

Eyes always stealing glances

Of futures not assured.

Eyes closing to past pains

Never more to see the word.
