Bitter/Sweet


I have longed for your kiss
yet feared the moment
knowing the touch of your
lips would be bliss
hoping you would not taste
the torment
the mix of sweet love
so true
and the bitterness of not
having you
for you belong to someone else
yet a kiss I will still for myself
as you taste the salt
on my tear stained lips
my heart is at fault
with every one that drips
bitterness, sweetness
this moment clinging like
morning dew
will be old as soon as
it is new
from my lips to yours
a story that will go untold
from your lips to mine
the passion we can't
see unfold
your kiss a tender treat
oh how bitter sweet
