Bittersweet

by Avery Kroll

Sea foam flies

On salty breeze

Of the oceans in your eyes

Melting stone

Bending iron

Trace each mile

With every curve

Of that crooked smile

And to the sweet sound

Like velvet line

Make silence break

Without a choice

With the warmth

Of your voice

But you’d never know

I’d never say

But try to hide the torture

Burning deep inside

And you

Your hand in hers

That smile

The glow of your face

She knows Farther away

She takes you To another place

So I Sit in shadows

Of burning silence

Pulling apart

In my hands

This bleeding heart

For you

I try

For I let you go
