Bittersweet

far away

your voice

is 

far away

your lips

are

far away

your heart

beats

i miss you

yet i've done such an excellent job

of pretending i didn't

silly me,

i fooled myself

so thoroughly

then

it comes rushing

rushing,

the delicious wave

whenever i hear

you whisper

my name
all

the frozen wishes

m

e

l

t

and i drown, and drown

(again)

sweet misery, brutal ecstasy,

fire

bliss

tears

ice


(bitter, sweet)
