98-
Bittersweet
It’s the bitterness to know you
that lets me feel the sweet.
The constraint of the light
versus your uncleansed skin.
The need for the bitter
to experience the sweet.
To have known tart
and to have lived
subpar
to what love intended for me,
tells me today that
you’re right for me.
Because without the bitter
there’s little sweet.
And the sweet brings me here, to my feet,
asking you to stay
and try it one more day,
To counter the bitter
with the sweet.
