bitterest ...sweetest...
I sacrificed happiness on an altar of obligation
an ascetic skeptic suffering for no reason..
at least for no...reason that I believed in
stood in the shallows cursing the water, while you waited in the deep end
but our joy distracted...so I attacked it
destroyed, denied, demeaned it...
I didn't mean it...
but if I told you now...I doubt that you'd believe it
bitterest...sweetest...
every syllable of your name leads me to wince..
I owe you everything and you've asked no recompense
providence...
is a stranger now...colors are..plainer now...
you know the.."what"..suspect the "who"...let me explain the "how"...
I didn't mean it
but if I told you now..I doubt that you'd believe it
you offered heart's communion but
I just couldn't receive it
bitterest..sweetest...
