Bitter Side

Bitter Side

You said love, but meant control,
Played the game and took your toll.
Smiles fake, your stories twist,
Now I see the snake I kissed.

I built you up, you broke me down,
Now I'm done being your clown.

Bitter… like the truth behind your grin,
Like the fire burning under skin.
I gave you gold, you turned to lies,
Now I wear the bitter side with pride.
Bitter… yeah, it tastes like you,
Cold, cruel, and see-through.
You wanted weak? I turned the tide—
Welcome to my bitter side.

You drained my light just to feel tall,
Watched me stumble, let me fall.
But I rose sharp, with broken grace,
Now your name leaves a bitter trace.

No more calls, no second round,
I’m better off without that sound.

Bitter… like the lies you left in bed,
Like the words you never said.
I held the storm, you fed the pride—
Now I breathe on the bitter side.
Bitter… like your favorite game,
Saying love, but meaning shame.
You drew the line, I stepped aside—
Now I live on the bitter side.

You wanted quiet, I became thunder,
You wanted weak, now watch me wonder.
I wear my rage like armor tight,
You lost me, and I gained fight.

Bitter… but I’m burning clean,
Cut the rope, broke the routine.
You were the lie I left behind—
Now I reign on the bitter side.
Bitter… but I’m not afraid,
I found my voice in what you betrayed.
No more tears I have to hide—
You made me this,
This bitter side.
