4 Stanzas of Bitterness

4 Stanzas of Bitterness

Look up at the endless

Morning sky

Can you see that cloud

Slowly passing by the sun?

I think that's where I left my happiness

When our love was strong

And I soared higher with each kiss

Somewhere it all went wrong

Like tainted snow

 days after falling

it was close to dissolving

but denial kept us stalling

Deceit knocked the wind out of me

Without warning, no chance

To brace myself for the blows

Burned by romance

I still wear the scars

But I cover them well

We got lost on our way to heaven

And somehow ended up in hell

If I could just

get back to somewhere in between

I know I'll be okay

But the end of this maze can't be seen

I felt the piercing when

Cupid flew over like a Sparrow

And if given the chance

I'd stab the bastard with his own arrow

Inside there is this emptiness

To which I'm trying desperately not to surrender

Ever since I gave you my heart, I've been

 waiting patiently by the mailbox for a return to sender

so far no luck, just junk mail, affectionate smiles

and a few winks from the postman's doting eyes

I think he might be keen on me

I can tell by the inflection of his voice when he says his hi's

He's kind of cute

 and looks nothing like you

That's good enough for me

So I guess, at least for now he will do.
