Bitter Words

My bitter words came out impatiently
A flow of misery, of darkened thoughts
Of ignorance and irrationality
Now this unsavory aftertaste is left
My better words, no more secrets to be kept

Your bitter words, a restless source of pain
Different each other day, water to wine
From distant skies to familiar terrains
Now the confusion within has come to light
Your better words won’t suffice to get things right

Thoughtless and perverse
Rhymes of disarray
Soon tore down the trust
Of the early days

Passion in reverse
Poured like acid rain
Soon put down to rust
Our derailed trains

Our bitter words undid what once we loved
They brought up our worst, the secret monsters
We conceal and sweep under the rug
Now the emotions and hopes from us have fled
Our better words, for some reason left unsaid
