I stumbled upon a most beautiful poem
It made me cry, and smile and pretend
I don't ever want to have such loss known
I wept all the way, to the very end
then I read it again and again
We have all felt it, tasted its poison
tried to stay tight lipped without drinking
It's bittersweet kiss tends to destroy us
pores contract as it leeches through thinking
*I seek surcease as I demand
another shot of being ******
So to the note, left at the end
Let the candy of such sublime memories
melt upon a tongue that never denies
For none of us will ever simply, be free
but we can sweeten our blood
with remembrance to good times
good times

like so much of life, it is bittersweet! yet that word is a reminder that it is not our losses, but what we make of our losses, that defines us... and makes our life sweet! ~ S.E.Reimer
