Bitter Sweet Love

The red flower blooms

On that first summer day

As I touch your face it

Quickly begins to rain

It’s beautiful though the 

Rain is absolutely beautiful

It’s not quite as beautiful as 

You my sweet love

My love for you is quite 

Sweet but quite bitter

Bitter words fall out of my

Mouth when I am mad

But sweet words always

Fall out of yours

I am so grateful 

For your presence

I am so grateful for 

You my sweet rose

You are my rose

And I am your thorn

Together we are 

Absolutely beautiful

But apart I am bitter

And rigid and you

Are sweet and soft

At my touch your finger

Is pricked and your

Blood falls

It falls like the tears 

From your eyes

I see you cry and

Every time I know 

It is because of me

I am sorry my love

For what I do to you

For all the pain I 

Put you through

I did not mean to

Hurt you, I meant

To love you with

All my heart

Why must our love 

Be so bitter sweet

Every time I see your 

Face I fall in love 

With you over and 

Over again

I know you won’t always 

Be mine but I will 

Always be yours

Our love is the 

Sweetest love

Our love is the most

Bitter love

What I want to say now is….

I will always love you
