Bitterly Sweet

Love, the thing everyone tries to fin

Some think it’s the absolute best

But is it more then just a trick of the mind?

It puts people to the test

While some may be flying high,

Happy without a fear,

Others think it’s a pretty lie,

As their feelings show in one little tear.

Love, so clear in their eyes;

It’s funny how everyone thinks they can see

But what they really see is no more then a disguise.

Pain followed by pleasure

Hate followed by love

Some think it’s a buried treasure

And for some, it fits them like a glove.

For others, it’s nothing but a joke

Something felt by those who deserve it

Seeing happy couples makes them choke,

Or throw a painful fit.

For some people, it’s meant to be

A prize to be accepted

But for people like me

Its just a reminder of how often we’ve been rejected.
