Bitter World

entry picture

Radiantly glowing,

Like in July: it snowing,

A hopeless romance,

I stood no chance,

 

How stubborn I was,

To think it was just us, 

A couple we could never be,

So little you thought of me,

 

Your choice was evident,

I soon became irrelevant,
I loved you like no man could,

It was something I never understood,

 

All the troubles that I was faced with,

Makes me feel that my time was wasted,

You grew so heavily impatient,

When your bed was left vacant,

 

Who knew you’d be so shameless,

And I’d end up being so brainless,

To think and ever consider,

There could be love in a world so bitter.
