A Bittersweet Love
The very last line was my daughters idea.
You are my sweet and sour treat
Always being bittersweet
With your love, I never know
What part of your heart will show
Kind and gentle, full of care
Showing emotions everywhere
Holding my hand soft and tender
Allowing both our souls to render
Into one, never apart
My mind thinks of you a lot
But there is a piece of you
Which I'm really not into
It makes me feel so useless
You back away from my caress
Turning away and start to cringe
Becoming distant and unhinged
From the offer of my love
Which always comes to push and shove
Pushing you to tell me why
Your actions make my heart die
You push back with closing down
You walk away, I turn around
And shove you back into the room
Allowing all the stormy gloom
To escape, there is no harm
When you shove me in your arms
Kissing me so warm and sweet
Actions we always repeat
Over and over again
I'm hoping that in the end
All this push and shove
Will lead to a stronger love
That is no longer bitter
But sweeter than a corn fritter
