Bitter-Sweet

Have you ever woken up

night after night,

morning after morning,

with this sense of worry?

This ache in your chest

that won’t ever go away.

Doing nothing to lessen the pain.

Feeling fates cruel joke

as it jerks your strings around?

Your shadow merely being there

to remind you of the darkness

that is shrouded in utter misery.

Like a broken blade that

can never be fixed

Your scars burn

for they can never heal

My vision darkened

My senses heightened

I am a monster

Why don’t you look frightened?

You look at me

like I’m as normal as can be.

Even after Hojo has done

all this to me...

You still wish to talk to me

Were so different

but also the same

We have both lost

Yet, you have gained

Your eyes of the sky

burn into these crimson of mine.

You sense my dread and worry

You still say nothing

Don’t I turn your stomach around?

Drive you into deep mounds of depression?

Is your charisma so great?

Your hope for life so strong?

You live so freely

and say what you want.

You always drag me along

as if I belong.

There’s a sensation in my chest

as you look at me so.

It makes me feel happy

But scared as well...

Oh great captain,

what would you do,

If I said “I love you”..?

Would my declaration be rejected?

Or would fate be kind

and you happen to accept it?

Either way I’ll be happy

for I’ll know this is true

I’ve finally moved on

and it’s because of you.
