bittersweet
two opposites

bitter
the taste that most everyone stays away from
bitter makes you
***** up your eyes in disgust
grimace at the terribly horrid taste on your tongue
but some love this taste; as i love you

sweet
the taste that most everyone loves
sweet makes you
close your eyes in delight
sigh at the wonderfully divine taste in your mouth
but some don't love this taste; as you didn't love me.

together what would we be? bittersweet?
who would want to taste such a thing?
i would; imagine grimacing at the taste of bitterness
but being surprised by the angelic taste of sweetness
exploding on your tongue
in other words, we would be perfect together
but what remains is that
i am only the aftertaste
and darling , you're the one in the spotlight

my eyelids droop, heavy
and yours stay open, wide awake through the night
an insomniac and a narcolept.

i run, and i dance, soaking the warm rays of the sun through my skin, rushing to spend my days out in the open,
you cower, and deny, throwing excuses to stay inside the safety of your cold dark home.
the sun and the moon.

cheers and cries spill from my orange lips, excitement in every syllable exclaimed,
mutters, stutters, utterances and lies pour from your chapped lips as you fumbled out your reasons.
an extrovert and an introvert.  

a villain, a hero.
an optimist and a pessimist.
bitter and sweet,
adoration and frustration .

"opposites really do attract, huh?"
you say, a grin on your chapped lips,
i frown, they really do

If you loved her, like darkness,
you have always loved her since,
and if you loved her like light,
then she had steered you from your sins.
