bitter taste



Oh my words, my words!
How bitter are these words!
From the same mouth, both
Blessing and cursing, where one
Taints the other, soiling and sowing
The taste of cruelty. 

Ah, my sin, my sin! How can I resist
What had chained me? Dear God,
You have said I am set free! You have
Promised me the peace of Your love,
And yet I flounder, speechless now. 

Finally speechless. 

These words haunt me, echoes
Of sentiment I didn't need to release,
Reminders of the things we don't share,
More than what we do. How can I not
Cry out in agony for the pain of what
I have to say??
