Bitter Sweet

Bitter Sweet

 

How bitter sweet this is.

You have taken me in and helped my soul.

 

Your emotions taste so sweet.

I know I can never be the man you need me to be.

 

How bitter I feel for not being the one.

It’s not your fault you wanted to help me so.

 

I hide it in the abyss of who I am.

This life, this life how dark I have made it.

 

I hide it in the cavernous trails.

The ones I hide from everyone.

 

A torch could not brighten what must stay hidden.

It’s best to keep it in the dark, so no one sees what a fool I have become.  

 

I dare not let you see that secret entrance I have kept hidden.

I really get this all through grade school I was in love with a friend and he knew it Ive written many times of unrequited love but I think you penned it better than I in many ways. I loved a few lines in this a lot and I love how you ended it ... was unexpected

I had that all through school. Most of the time the other girls would think I was joking (i was a bit of a geek in school) so I would pretend that I was joking just so I wouldn't get hurt.

[ron]

I will look at it...well I was not so smart in school.

I know this feeling, it stays with us for so long after the relationship is over...we keep those secret entrances hidden to avoid further pain, it's a catch 22, nicely pen'd ron.

I really like this piece man. I to know how it feels to be in love with a woman that didn't love me back... Actually I've been there a couple times in life. And that's all we can do is hide it deep in our beings of who we are. We have to fake a smile and pretend like it don't bother us... Really great job explaining the details of the feeling... Thanks for sharing...

It's actually about being in love with some one I can't have...well at least in my mind...that is if I ever find some one than that's probably how it would go. As for now I don't even have that. Thank you for reading.

Bitter sweet indeed Ron.. You allow your raw emotions to drip from your ink continuously and that can be very therapeutic. Believe me I know.

Step in to the light Ron. It's warm here.

Its hard to step into the light when your eyes are adjusted to the dark for so long Rose.

[shallimarRose]

OK now you got me there.. that's so true.. That's why we adjust a little at a time. wear sunglasses and take baby steps. hugs to you my friend. Rose

[ron]

I will try. Hugs back friend.

Ron, it seems as if there is something that lies deep within you that needs to come out - having feelings that are hidden in cavernous trails is a network of emotions, and desires. Think not of yourself as a fool, but rather one who is being honest with himself. It is good to write of it as you understand who you are.

[ron]

The trails are long and dark for a reason. To light my way back through them brings light to the pain I have had. Some things are best never to see light again. Thank you Sheila.

[Sheila Kline]

I understand.........I just hope you someday can allow a bit of light to flicker in them again!!

[ron]

Maybe, I keep a torch near by just in-case...:)
