bittersweet

(no subscription to poetry, please)

i almost called you last week
when i couldn't feel my chest & my heart shriek
i almost broke when i heard your dreams came true
that she gave you what i couldn't give to you

mate, why are we still lying
when we don't have to put that show that we were trying
i hate to move on and say that i didn't need those blues
but i cannot stay away from that bruise or let it lose.

i still hope though you'd see that you caused this
we could have had that, but now i choose bliss
reminding myself to never go into that street
who knew that we could taste that bittersweet

my mum says it doesn't last for all
and i remember the problems that i thought were small
i thought it was the love's fall
but i shouldn't have walked before the crawl

nothing compares to those memories
regrets, maybe mistakes, but they're still my treasuries
time flies, like yesterday i was in your arms
and today i am wondering why i didn't see those alarms

i hope you'd see that you caused this
we could have had that, but now i choose bliss
reminding myself to never go into that street
who knew that we could taste that bittersweet
