Bitter

Bitter

You said forever with a crooked smile,
Laced your lies in sugar, sweet and vile.
I drank your poison, slow and blind,
Now the aftertaste won’t leave my mind.

Bitter… like the truth I didn’t see,
Like your love was never really for me.
You played the part, then broke the script,
Left me bleeding from your grip.
Bitter… like your kiss on someone else,
Like watching you love, but not myself.
I gave you gold, you gave me rust—
Now all that's left is bitter dust.

I counted stars while you chased flames,
You called it love, but played with names.
Told me I was all you need,
Then fed your hunger while I bleed.

Bitter… like the silence that you kept,
Like promises you never meant.
I held the weight, you let it fall,
And smiled like you felt nothing at all.
Bitter… like the mirror cracked in two,
It shows the worst—and it shows you.
I loved a lie, I gave you trust—
Now all I taste is bitter dust.

No sorry now can heal the sting,
No broken bird can fake its wings.
I found my voice inside the pain—
You taught me that, and that remains.

Bitter… but I’ll wear it like a crown,
Won’t let your name pull me down.
You were the fire, I was the burn—
Now watch me rise and never turn.
Bitter… yeah, but I'm still bold,
Made of ash, but not yet cold.
You lost my love, betrayed my trust—
Now you fade into bitter dust.
