Green Lemon
A bitter fruit hangs
on the endless vine of life.
Time will make it sweet.
I find myself lonely but not alone
Surrounded by pain and sorrow
Washing in a pool of self pity
Dirtied by a broken heart
Forbidden fruits encompass me
Tempting me with their beauty
Promising a fresh new life
So I hold them without tasting
Thoughts race through my mind
Memories and regrets I hold
Emotions distilled by hate
But I try not to fall down
The sun never did shine
Only light comes from within
But the night is suppressing
And I love and hate you
As I wade into deeper sorrow
My tears begin to drown me
And if these tears were yours
I wouldn’t mind death
Now I am lost to begin
And the oceans swell high
So I capsize my own boat
And my face pleads a resolve
