Bittersweet

 

Bittersweet

the kisses were oh so sweet

they lined the path to my empty heart

the cycle of reincarnation

the nirvana of a brand new start

but now the kisses have faded away

the path has become strewn with litter

my dreams again now left empty

your sweetness has turned, oh so bitter

the claims were made, thoughts justified

this is not what you truly wanted

it was best, that's what you said

our growing love, now growth is stunted

will this be the final kiss of death

I fear this is our last goodbye

now in reflections I see your smile

my heart is broke and needs to cry

this is the only way to mend the pain

the only way to make complete

the love we shared now drenched in rain

memories of you, so bittersweet

Bittersweet is a great title for this love :)
Not always easy to hold on to things when the memories or the person has changed to such a degree!
Wonderful poem
