Bitter Love

Those who have grown apart and reunite.

Faces do not know each other anymore.
Minds listen to others to fill in the gaps they have lost.
They run face-first into love, and it rejects them.



A strong embrace once warm is now cold.
A lazy hand-in-hand walk is now history.
A whisper in a loving ear goes unheard.



The look of desire in her eye is now vacant.
A tickle in search of a laugh gets a rebuke.
Anger replaces love, which becomes distant.



Separation grows between the two faces.
All is at arm's length.
The rift creates a cold, black void.



Walking with a hard intensity. Thinking, thinking, and walking.
A vast, unending ocean of regret fills the soul.
Tears well up and trickle down the face.



Suddenly, a thought.
A smile cracks the downcast face.
A strong hand wipes the tears away.



Faces meet again.
Smiles of regret from each ignite tears of fire.
A long-lost embrace, a hard kiss, a whimper of a cry.



Together once again.
Never to part, never to close a door.
It's a life again, a life with love.
