bittrersweet melody

 
bittersweet melody, sings inside me
lilting quietly, I sway with it
my sacred art, I feel too much
 
sanity in a lie, others appreciate this
intensity in a smile
painfully kept in
 
gentle hurt, when my deep need, is met with rejection
misfit of fate, when I come upon one like me
beautiful day, I have met such a kismet soul
only problem is, we ignite
 
touching darkness, disturbs my thougjts
tender feeling, being understood
I see her sometimes
coming together without carnage
the two of us together long term, is no good
 
alone in the emptiness, with people
is better than combusting, upon impact
hidden grief I'm not meant to be known
