the bitter fruit


beauty is my characteristics
beauty was my feature
destruction is my future
sweetness my bitterness

my movement retrogression
i blossom in pain
pain whispers to me
i run and as i run
i was latched twice

my blood jumped out and floated in air
it came back but didn't enter the same place
it perched shyly on my body
i screamed with pain to their joy

their joy say am bitter
cut her off
she is bitter they said sweetly
hmmmm

i am dizzy
i leave bitter
leaving my sweetness

  8. Thanks for stopping by mine!

    Your poem paints a vivid picture, a not so nice one. pain, bitterness, blood and maybe even death.

    Sad yet a really nice play with words!
