Cady

I wonder how you, with the sweetest eyes I had ever seen, managed to distill so much bitterness into my life. Maybe I was too diabetic for them, Or you, too bitter for me. Our eyes met at the wrong time, And the sugar we lacked turned into gall. Your eyes, which were once a sweet refuge, Today are a memory of a bitter taste. And I, who thought I was strong enough, Discovered that too much sweetness can also hurt. You distilled the bitterness, drop by drop, And I, without realizing it, was sweetened by pain.
