Bitter and Sweet

A Poem

By Ashleigh YorkPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

wheres my exception?

what do i gain?

what is mounting, im feeling.

its written on my face. plain.

i called your bluffs

i cant ignore you for long

my exterior. i act so tough

my heart. its yours. is that so wrong?

i'll call for you shortly

i'll be there for you always

i cant control my feelings

so these numbers are my days

words that carry so much

come in threes

its me and you

can you see through the steam?

decently falling

crazily calling

walk tall?

i buckle and i crawl

crooked and bent

my grace is gone

days like this

into myself withdrawn

keeping the distance

my orders restrained

what its worth what i do

is really nothing gained

i cant tell you the truth

but you wouldnt see it anyway

so blind so bland

the worst kind of cliche

i feel you so near

'lets try to be friends'

but we all know what that tastes like

when we get to the predictable end

you said you cared

but your bullshit rang through

i believed it so what?

whats a girl to do?

so sweet so bitter

so old so new

life cuts like a knife

really whats a girl to do?

heartbreak
