Bittersweet

Bittersweet is the word to describe
Everything I've left behind
Does it have to also be the word
For everything foreward?
No, it doesn't have to define
Anything of mine
The ways in which I live my life
Or the pain and strife
But bittersweet will I remain
In this bittersweet pain
My own bittersweet haven
Is truly a prison
Can it truly describe me
And what I will be?
Bittersweet and forgotten
Alone and rotten
But maybe it isn't bittersweet at all
Maybe I was meant to fall
Fall for it all, the pain and the shame
And to place all the blame
I guess it truly is bittersweet
This pain I must learn to meet
