Bitterness


Butterflies and ribbons
Purples and pinks
Cold glass
Sealed tight.

Pictures and memories
Are pieces torn.
Marbles line
The bedroom floor.

Salty tears
Fall upon the discolored wood

A drenched phone,
Makes a call
Screams and ragged breath
Echo across.

Letters written
In a flurry
Go zipping through space.

My sister in a hurry,
Throws things in a bag:
Pick-me-up chocolate,
And girly treats.

These things happen,
Bitterness is bittersweet.
