Why is your heart bitter? <br />What have I said? <br />What have I done? <br />Forgot that I nurtured you <br />My son? <br />Yet in my need <br />Your heart revealed <br />A blind spot <br />A bad seed <br />If someone told me <br />I would not believe <br />But you did it to me <br /> <br />Which I could cry <br />But my tears are punctured <br />And like a dead man <br />Your inconsideration rips <br /> <br />Why is your heart bitter? <br />What have I said? <br />What have I done? <br />No compassion <br />No empathy <br />If I were you <br />I could not sleep <br />My conscience <br />Would torment me <br />If I were you <br />I could not see <br />My eyes would be red-hot <br />Hotter than the sun <br /> <br />This is horrid <br />Buried deep within <br />Unmask it now <br />Stunt its growth <br />Don't let it flourish <br />Pluck it from the root <br />And kill it!<br /><br />Buxton Shippy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bitter-heart/
