5614 The scale of bitterness

Ripe fruit, 
With sweet skin 
And bitter heart.

Among the thousand smiles 
With which you presented yourself, 
Each one was an oasis 
Of loneliness, 
Leaving me thirsty 
For the freshness of true love.

Taking your fishhook was a deception. 
Your bait vanished 
On the palate of my soul, 
Like the whisper of the ephemeral dream 
That a lover has.

Hidden in every caress 
And in every kiss, 
Like an intoxicating nectar, 
You carried camouflaged 
An addictive bitterness.

I dreamed that your soul was sweet.

And so, captivating my senses, 
My being became entangled 
In the web of your charm.

Like someone grasping 
A burning coal, 
I clung to the hope 
That you would dispel 
The helplessness within me.

With every exhalation I gave, 
Out of desperation, you widened 
The scale of bitterness 
In the garden of my heart.
