Bitter-sweet

Internal, external, interior, exterior,

My heart beats so fast; it makes you seem superior.

Your wish, my command, my help, you demand.

My hurt, your reprimand, if you want it, you can.

Unfair, unknown

Unaware, you chastise,

But your cover is blown.

It's all a disguise.

Faith, hope

My dream, I'm ecstatic

You say I can cope

But you think I'm a fanatic.

Your lips, apart,

You sense what's in my heart.

Expect it, you tell me, don't resent,

Because this is the way life is meant.

You watch my withdrawal, but with my comeback,

You're appalled for it is uncalled... for

Silently, I walk, hoping to change,

The feeling in me, that seems so strange,

So much to share, but it's like you don't care.

I gave you everything, expected nothing to be returned,

You gave little, I wanted more, now it's like I'm burned

'Open up' you say your voice more persistent each day

'It's harder then you know', I answer, my voice low.

But up to you, I saunter, not knowing you'll be my haunter,

And know I regret, everything, but the day we met.

Love is bitter-sweet, my wise friend once said,

You bite the treat, while he beats your head.
