I wrote quite a bit when I started college, including a five page poem called "Bittersweet Blues." Of course, I can't find the portfolio I had it in...the hard copy is lost, the disk that I had it on is unreadable...this poem has been missing for about 8 years. I decided to revisit the feeling/thought of the poem...it isn't even completely close to what I wrote long ago, but I'm trying to remember it. This is what came out today.
Those Bittersweet Blues got a hold of me.
Bitter bitter sweet sweet
Rhythm of torture holding fast
Bittersweet Blues holding on tight.
I'm thinking of you
Hoping you'll walk in
Longing to hold you again.
Outside,
raindrops bang out the beat
Thunder fills in the bass
Thoughts of you burn inside
Thoughts of you make me run outside
Run outside
Let the rain put out the flame
Raindrops beat me.
I continue to burn.
The flames slow dance inside my heart
Bitter bitter sweet sweet
I can't escape thoughts of you
Sweet sweet bitter bitter
I can't stop hearing your voice
Bitter bitter sweet sweet
I taste you I feel you I hear you
Bitter bitter sweet sweet bitter bitter sweet.
I love you I need you I hate you
I flee you
Heart beating in time
Beating faster in perfect time
Bitter bitter sweet
Sweet Raindrops driving the beat
Heart beat bitter
Lub dub sweet beat
Bitter lub beat sweet bitter
Bitter Lub sweet dub
Bittersweet blues got a hold of me.
Rhythm of torture holding fast
Bittersweet Blues holding on tight.
I'm thinking of you
Hoping you'll walk in
Longing to hold you again.
I taste you I feel you I hear you
I love you I need you I hate you
I flee you.
Let me go
Let me live
Let me be.
