A Sea of Bitterness
The girl who ties my stomach in knots.
A Sea of Bitterness belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalYou are indeed a sea of resentment,
Force fed rivers of bitterness.
But this sea of meaning is not entirely your own.
Though it is you, it is equally the thoughts of you.
You are regret in every tongue tied man who stammers at your beauty.
The silence of every trampled phrase never uttered in your eloquence.
Your meaning comes from bitter thoughts, thoughts of failed attempts.
The irony that lies with this is:
The men who see such beauty trip and shake and stutter.
While the men who fail to see such beauty appear strong.
So every honest estimate of Beauty’s gift to you,
Weakens legs of titans and slicks the palms of soldiers.
This contrite expression of your radiance is dismal.
And perhaps such beauty can only be expressed by the source from which it shines.
If that is the case, you are indeed a sea of their resentments.
And nothing good can be said of you; you are too beautiful for words.
So what little of your own bitterness may wade in your shores or brush on your floor, slumber deep one night believing that somewhere in the silence and the stammers lay expressions of your beauty. And believe you are beautiful before you forget me, because beauty is entirely relative to the perception of the perceiver.
