The opposite of bright lights on a dark night
Is just enough sweet
Just enough happy
and fond memories
Just enough good to block hate
enough nuance and details
to be impossible to forget
and to let go of
enough hooks made of sugar
to drive bitter poison
into a happy tongue
The opposite of hope
Is just enough sweet to introduce doubt
to confuse
to distract
Just enough
to prevent consensus
to consider delusion
just enough sweetness to
consider
and enough to be fooled
Bittersweet is the flavor of salted wounds
of searing heat on cool limbs
of blinding light guiding your eyes to black
Bittersweet is the toss upwards before a dreadful fall
a hint of something good
setting up for bad
Of something clear
giving way to muddled
An angler fish
A baited hook
Relationships
Growing up
Life
I had another dream of you
my bittersweet
