A Sweet Haunting

Another poem written in my Creative Writing class. The prompt for this one was "a poem about life's contrasting dualities, or paradoxes." Hope you enjoy. Jesus loves you <3 :)

Four times I broke his heart,

Each time worse than the last.

He’s forgiven me, but I struggle

To leave this in the past.

The tears, the sickness, the heartache,

All return full force at will.

He tells me to let it go;

Yet, I cling to these memories still.

See, there’s a hidden beauty to it all;

There’s sweet honey after feeling the bee’s sting.

Despite all of that, he stayed with me,

And that fact makes my heart sing.

 

Author's Note

Constructive criticism, please. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing.

This is something I can relate to really well. Especially people telling me to let the past go. And I also like the analogy with the honey and the bee sting.
