Ik heb een tijd lang niet kunnen dichten en dat is eigenlijk de reden van dit gedicht in 2 delen. Nu het wat minder moeilijk ligt kon ik weer dichten. Eigenlijk moeten de delen naast elkaar gelezen worden.
BITTERSWEET (Part II)
It was so perfect.
The precious moments we were able to share,
what we had felt so unique.
We belonged together so I did not care,
but your love made me so weak.
The end of joy, the return of pain.
You could have had all of me, but you made a big mistake:
being impatient, you let egoism rule.
Ignoring my wishes you took what was not yours to take,
I still can’t believe how you could have been so cruel.
That special place you had won in my heart,
you destroyed it all, the beauty forever corrupted.
It hurts beyond words and I’m torn apart.
Comfort was turned into fear, my happiness disrupted.
The agonising guilt I felt was so strong,
while you were pushing me, I thought I was to blame.
I did not realised I did nothing wrong,
you didn’t stop when asked, so you should feel the shame.
I was hurting while you only thought of YOU,
to give us another chance I needed some space.
You cowardly chose to help yourself get through
and ended it al, but not even face to face.
I did not deserve it,
so I become more furious, while love slowly dies.
It is hard to admit,
but you damaged me deeply, that is what I despise.
The world is changing and so is my heart.
As always I will refuse to perish,
there is hope for the future, letting go is the key.
The beautiful moments I still cherish,
are forever connected to what you did to me.
All that’s left is a feeling.. both bitter and sweet.
